Publisher Synopsis
Delinquent Palaces is one of those rare things, a first book of an already developed, master poet. The one who looks out from the 'yard that has been left untended / by any hand but that of God.' And the name of that yard is music."" - Ilya Kaminsky""Danielle Chapman's poetry is brilliant, mysterious, and impetuous in its quest for intensity. Like Gerard Manley Hopkins, she knows the secret to charging the world with grandeur, with words and their music; like his windhover, her words buckle in two senses: both secured and 'halted in a breakbeat."" - Ange Mlinko""Everything is alive and fully charged in Chapman's poetry of ardor and loss, survival and renewal as she revels in the music of language-the fruitiness of vowels, the clash of consonants, the swoon of rhyme. Incisive, bemused, and impassioned, Chapman gives strong and lucid voice to the rapture of existence and the mysteries of consciousness."" - Booklist, Starred Review Read more...
