Poetry by Ange Mlinko

September 1, 2005 • 6 x 9 • 76 pages • 978-1-56689-177-6

This National Poetry Series winner is a seriously playful tour de force of imaginative language.

Hailed by Publishers Weekly as “one of the most exciting American poets under 40,” Mlinko’s Starred Wire reaches across continents of language where, as in Borges, dream logic dictates an interactive, delirious exploration of art and childhood, place and possibility.
