In this eagerly awaited collection of new poems - her first in over a decade - Alice Fulton reimagines the great lyric subjects - time, death, love - and imbues them with fresh urgency and depth. Barely Composed unveils the emotional devastations that follow trauma or grief - extreme states that threaten psyche and language with disintegration. With rare originality, the poems illuminate the deepest suffering and its aftermath of hypervigilance and numbness, the formal feeling described by Emily Dickinson."--Book jacket.
