The White Eyelash

by Susan Kinsolving

Book Overview

Susan Kinsolving's first collection, Dailies & Rushes, was hailed as a remarkable debut by The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal, and named a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.

Customer Reviews

Awesome!

[...] Fizzles is a queer collection of eight drabbles that can easily be taken as poetry; it tastes just like Beckett, so if you know and love his work, you're sure to enjoy this.

Amazing Encore!

A brilliant continuation of the deep and at times dark poetry of a mysterious and enchanting poet. Her sense of language is mesmerizing, while her thoughts, lessons, and experiences leave the reader with a sense that they have both learned something about the poet and themselves. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether poetry enthusiasts or not, in addition to all her other work. Bravo Susan Kinsolving! I look forward to more.
