Bøger af Anne Higgins

"The river flows by like a giant's dream, /and if I dipped my hand in, what would come?" writes Anne Higgins.

Elegant and precise descriptions of birdlife and gardens mingle with angry confrontations with illness and a tour de force poem about a catastrophic fire in a Catholic elementary school.

An eclectic collection of many pleasures and surprises.-Lynn Levin, author of Miss Plastiqu

Anne Higgins' poetry can best be described as naturalistic, consuming and ingenious. Each poem in her book, At The Year's Elbow, causes a rippling effect upon the reader's imagination. --Rebecca Broadway, POETICVOICES.com Anne Higgins has a passion for poetry.

These poems point to the deeper recesses of human experience and bring the listener into the presence of much joy and sorrow, much light and darkness. A realistic poet here. --Robert Morneau ....I never thought of September as the Year's Elbow. What an image--one I won't forget...Now Anne Higgins--she is like Jessica Powers. The same wonderful insight into nature. The same seeing in the ordinary the extraordinary. --Dana Greene ...such good and strong poems...seem to have such control and thoughtfulness. - Josephine Jacobsen
