The Brass Girl Brouhaha - Hardcover

Winner of the 2004 Kate Tufts Award. In wild, zany, often hilarious language, this new poet writes about what it's like to be a woman, a mother, and ex-wife in 21st centuray America. Linda Gregerson has commented that Blevins writes "the freshest poetic line that American has produced in thirty years."

Adrian Blevins was born in Abdingdon, VA in 1964, and holds graduate degrees from Hollins University and Warren Wilson College's MFA Program for Writers. A 2002 recipient of a Rona Jaffe Writers' Foundation award for poetry and the author of The Man Who Went Out for Cigarettes, a Bright Hill Press award-winning chapbook, Blevins lives in Roanoke, VA with her husband and three children, and teaches at Roanoke College. She will begin teaching at Colby College in Maine in the fall of 2004.
