In 1998, Marie Ponsot was awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry, confirming the praise that has been bestowed on her by critics and peers--among them Eavan Boland and Carolyn Kizer (who are quoted on the back of the book jacket) and Amy Clampitt, who had this to say of Ponsot's last book: "She is marvelously attuned to the visual and to the audible. She is no less precisely a geographer of the interior life, above all the experience of being a woman."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The poems reveal the moral drama enacted just beneath the surface of the natural world. Ponsot attends to elegant forms without losing sight of what they are there to express."
--The New Yorker

Comment

Dorothy Parker's aunt

a poet of the first magnitude

September 22, 2006

Format: Paperback

Any critical reader of poetry will understand Marie Ponsot's importance as a leading poet of our time. A modernist in the sense of being playful and self-aware, she is also a traditionalist whose footing in classical literature allows her to dance in extraordinary (and catchy) rhymes and rhythms. The Bird Catcher is one of the best collections of poetry by any poet, ever.
