The Brass Girl Brouhaha Adrian Blevins

Poetry. "Sex is in here. Mortality too, with all the incremental wounds to self-love and dignity that sex and mortality entail. And motherhood, square root of all the rest, is here, so stripped of every piety it steams. And spooling through this gorgeous, brassy brouhaha, the freshest poetic line that America has produced in thirty years"-Linda Gregerson. Adrian Blevins was born in Abingdon, Virginia, in 1964 and holds graduate degrees from Hollins University and Warren Wilson College's MFA Program for Writers. She teaches at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia.
