Pub Date: April 27, 2022 Waywiser Press, paperback Publisher's Marketing: Winner of the 16th Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize, with a Foreword by the judge, Vijay Seshadri Danielle Blau’ s peep invites you into a world so strange it is utterly familiar, a world from our ancient past that could also be the future—or a twisted version of the present. It is a mirror world where the husk of our culture shows starkly, and yet it is lit by joy, in the words, the verses themselves. peep is uncanny, primal, magical, capturing hopelessness, gridlock, our impact on the environment and those around us, questioning progress and the language we use to speak to each other, each little peep a little life desperate to not pass unnoticed.
