Winner of the 2008 Donald Hall Prize in PoetrySelected by Lynn EmanuelWinner of the 2010 Kate Tufts Discovery AwardThe elegies in Temper interrogate the way grief leaves us confrontational, in a state of fracture.
Temper is at once violent and controlled, unflinching and unforgiving in temperament. The poems are mercilessly recursive, placing pressure on the lyric as a mode of both the elegiac and the ecstatic. The result is an enforced silence, urgent with grief.
