Denise Duhamel’s new chapbook, IN WHICH

Denise Duhamel is an American Treasure! Each of her books is a surprise for the reader who didn't know poems could both surprise and delight the way her poems do. Duhamel's mind is a fun factory of the imagination that creates words and images that, forgive me, blow my mind.

"In Which" RATTLEd my mailbox with poems that imagine her imagining more than a dozen different persona's, one that tries "to be social," one that has "Read the Terms and Conditions," one that "Refuses to Take Responsibility." These poems make me think and feel and imagine and wish I had written them.

"Did you ever wonder–What if poetry wasn't invented?" she asks. Actually, I hadn't, but it has and I am grateful that Denise Duhamel keeps writing it.

Check it out on the RATTLE website.
