“In her sumptuously visceral second collection, Macari (Ivory Cradle) invites readers into a world alive with women, where every ‘you’ and ‘she’ is an echo of another ‘I.'”

Additional Praise:
“Anne Marie Macari’s powerful poems make poetic speech seem an utterly natural act. She is the latest ambassador of a great lineage of strong poets whose subject is blood-knowledge. Sexual without needing to be seductive, spiritual without being sentimental, tough and full-bodied, I like so very much the way the poems are always in hot pursuit of the serious mysteries (kinship, sex, mortality)—at once blind and deeply intelligent, pushing into the underbrush of knowing. Gloryland is a sensational collection.”
—Tony Hoagland
“This is what poetry does for me when it opens the self and enters the deep places, the sea bottom where our lonely islands are connected. It gives joy.”
