Easy Math Summary

Easy Math by Lauren Shapiro

Winner of the 2011 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry Introduction by Marie Howe Shapiro's poems are freshly contemporary, minted with the same pop cultural referents that make up the context of our lives, but entirely at ease in the idiom of verse Shapiro runs a highly regarded reading series in Milwaukee and is on the staff of Rescue Press -- she's very well-positioned for reading opportunities, course adoption, and reviews Shapiro has a strong publication record in journals known for publishing the strong new poets (DIAGRAM, Jubilat, and others) and her debut collection should generate interest among their readers

Easy Math Reviews

Lauren Shapiro writes a smart, funny, richly inhabited poetry of the here and now. May it soon be everywhere and always. James Tate Full of vim and vinegar, these poems push our faces into their marvelous bouquets. Constantly refreshed with alarming strangeness, Easy Math veers between irked humor and world-weary awe. Remember when we all got out of school for the fire alarm? This is even better. Dean Young Lauren Shapiro can downshift from the sublime to the profane and back again in less than five seconds. Energy and joy create these metaphors, and if they are in discourse with postmodern malaise, they almost win the argument. Marie Howe This fearless poet isn't afraid to name something beautiful. And she's not shy about how we humans have thoughts, opinions and feelings; she brings an astonishingly acute precision to bear on so many of our less than perfect ways. She registers our misapprehensions and turns our imaginations up several registers. I love reading this book, and getting to know this poet. Dara Wier
