RAVAGE Beatty's done it again. This is hopping. Fearless, Jan Beatty's endless reach makes us bleed as she powerlifts on the page, shocks short severed roots in the landscape of origin to switchblade keen. Riveting. - Allison Adelle Hedge Coke To read the work of Jan Beatty is to experience the sensation of the book itself exploding in your grip. Beatty invents history, a self, and an intimate body-language with rage, precision, and poetic tenderness. A deep, sharp current pushes through these poems. The perfect edge before Beatty leaves us: spent, ravaged, and wet. - Aaron Smith All work copyright © Jan Beatty 2024
