In Edgewater, her powerfully moving and redemptive third collection, Ruth L. Schwartz writes with consummate passion, precision, and honesty of the raw hungers that give rise to the world, human and natural. In poems both lyrical and grit-laced, she grapples with her twofold, central question: How can we love fully, open-eyed and openhearted amid all the flaws and beauty, each other and the world? How could we not? --Jane Hirshfield
A popular and emerging voice in the world of poetry and winner of the National Poetry Series Open Competition
Established in 1978, The National Poetry Series has been instrumental in launching the careers of poets and writers such as Denis Johnson, Billy Collins, Mark Doty, Cole Swenson, Thylias Moss, Mark Levine, and Dionisio Martinez.
Selected by the poet Jane Hirshfield as the 2001 winner, Ruth L. Schwartz is the next poet to be added to that esteemed list. With a list of award-winning works behind her, Edgewater is yet another success for this widely anthologized young poet who will surely be writing for a long time to come.
