Editorial Reviews
Whore is haunted by intimations of love as fleeting as it is mysterious, as the poet traces an unraveling in which the sensory world, in all its lush desolation, becomes a mirror of loss. In poems of longing, rapture, heart-wreck, and self- confrontation, when both private and public worlds seem to be on the verge of disintegration, everything is up for questioning and re-examination.
Sarah Maclay walks into the shaded areas of canvas, willing to follow the play of light and dark until that which is obscure moves into focus. Even language itself, that great interlocutor of the psyche, begins to lose its stability. In the title poem, the result of a trip to the dictionary in search of another word, its etymology that shocks us into an awareness of the potential for contradiction buried in the very roots of language.
With its symbolist undertones and surrealist echoes, this is a poetry of evocation and presence at once tactile and subliminal-a poetry of night.

From the Publisher
The Tampa Review Prize for Poetry judges praised Whore for its "romantic, desolate ingenuity" and is "hunger for unexpected disclosures." They found the poems "spectacular in their execution, in their eagerness to get at what seems to be happening n the other side of our assumptions- that realm where we are assured we know, for instance, what 'whore' means."
Winner of the 2003 Tampa Review Prize for Poetry
Even as a special-order item, the University of Tampa Press usually ships out Whore within 1-2 business days of receipt of order.
