Ideal for readers interested in contemporary poetry that defies conventions and embraces wit and emotional depth.
Poems both punishing and radiant. No one is writing like Minnis, and no one should dare.

Description
A fearless and uproarious litany of contentions and revelations on poetry and the poetic mind, continuing the charge against the sacred in contemporary poetry. Poemland alternates brilliantly between the deadpan, the spectacular, and the outrageous.
If you open your mouth to start to complain I will fill it with whipped cream . . .
There is a floating sadness nearby . . .
Chelsey Minnis is the author of three previous collections. A graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, she currently lives in Boulder, Colorado.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised for its formal invention and bold voice, Minnis' work is noted for being accessible, confrontational, hilarious, and moving. This collection continues her reputation for innovative and provocative contemporary poetry.
