New York: Random House, (1998). Hardcover first edition - The author's first book of poetry - The New York Times called this "An intense, intelligent and wonderfully sly book of poems" and John Updike commented "With their short lines, sneaky rhymes, and casual leaps of metaphor, Garrison's poems have a Dickinsonian intensity, and the Amherst recluse's air of independent-minded, lightly populated singleness. Many a working girl will recognize herself in the poems' running heroine, and male readers will part with her company reluctantly." A very accessible collection - 61 pp. Newspaper reviews laid in. ISBN: 0-679451455.
