Pacific Shooter, by Susan Parr

Selected by Susan Mitchell as Winner of the 2009 Lena-Miles Wever Todd Poetry Prize "Pacific Shooter is a book of transformations as insubordinate and subversive as Ovid’s Metamorphoses—and with all the taste and twang of a new language. The bourgeois reader will hate it: there’s too much magic, too much genius, too much linguistic bliss." —Susan Mitchell
