A Daughter's Latitude: New & Selected PoemsPoetry. Enriched by a life of travel across the United States and Asia, Karen Swenson exposes local genius and folly--in all its moral ambiguity--with sardonic humor, pathos, and hope.

Wherever she has been, Ms. Swenson has taken with her an invisible mission: poetry--The Wall Street Journal. |
