Waiting For The Paraclete

Winner of the 2001 Barnard New Women Poets Prize Lise Goett, winner of the Paris Review Discovery Award and an Academy of American Poets Prize, is one of our most promising younger poets. Her powerful first book is reminiscent of the spiritual and passionate lyricism of Carolyn Forche's The Angel of History and should appeal to readers interested in the sacred tradition in literature.
"Goett's poems have an eloquence of feeling, and a freshness of movement." --Richard Howard
