I Love Artists cover

Drawing on four decades of work and including new poems published here for the first time, this selection of Mei-mei Berssenbrugge's poetry displays the extraordinary luminosity characteristic of her style - its delicate, meticulous observation, great scenic imagination, and unusual degree of comfort with states of indetermination, contingency, and flux.

“A worthy introduction to her [Berssenbrugge’s] elegant oeuvre.” * Publishers Weekly *
“Essentially these poems are demanding. They demand that the reader give up preconceptions and enter their construct. What they return is a poetic view that is more than thinking outside the box but in a universe where there is not box—but language, reflection, and ultimately beauty instead.” * Santa Fe New Mexican *
