Openers / Temper
Nina Nyhart & Margo Lockwood
"Nyhart's poems are clever, audacious, full of fine sounds and syntactic momentum and aflame with surreal wit. She has a sense of intellectual adventure
and a formal ingenuity that make these spare and skillfully crafted poems fun to read."
—The Washington Review
"Margo Lockwood's poems in Temper are informed with the Irish sense of humor and of pain. She brings her complex gifts, the painter's cool eye and the
poet's vision of love and grief to this beautiful collection."
—Gail Mazur
