A Dangerous Windfall

Dangerous Windfall
My Shopping Bag

Maggie Anderson has been a poet of energy and wisdom, of conscience and courage, since her earliest work. In this new collection I am particularly impressed by the cropped force of poems like Knife , The Sleep Writer , and the Black Dog poems, which chillingly convey private and public worlds of terror and control.

Upcoming Events

Caught between the oppositions of decorum and lawlessness, indolence and rigor, spiced by secrecy and appetite, Anderson is a poet who confronts loss and dread and, like the black dog, despite the grey fog, stands up. Maggie Anderson writes a serious, surmising poetry, a poetry knowledgeable of image and music, pieces of energy on a taut string, and shining sanity. I love the voice I hear in Maggie Anderson's poems. I love the rhythm, and the knowledge, and the power.

A Dangerous Windfall

She has made a new world come to life. She has, through memory and passion, helped keep the world itself alive.

Anderson is confident, lyrical and compassionate, a poet who writes about memory and loss with passion and clarity. The music of regret often allows Anderson a lyricism that is almost classical in its purity. Anderson's poems have a gentle feel but contain a deep intensity; they move slowly, quietly, and need to be absorbed over time. There is an exploration here of the heart that is rare, desperately needed in today's world, and universal to us all.

Somehow the author has managed to capture the exact cadence of a summer afternoon and press it into the pages of this book.

Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri and a small clique of other cabinet members are commonly referred to as the "Mozambique mafia"--a jab at their years spent as political refugees in the African nation during Indonesia's occupation. The Chilkoot desperately needs a fix. A spike in the temperature sends Rocky Mountain Rail crews scrambling as mudslides and washouts threaten to close this vital lifeline. So what happens when people strike it rich?

The book highlights continuities in Anderson's work, both in style and subject matter. Anderson's consistently clear, quiet voice may cause the reader not to note the artistry at work here, which I imagine would be perfectly fine with Anderson, as what these poems most aim for is not virtuosity but a connection with the reader, as between peers. Anderson's art is in the precision with which she invokes her territory, the present moment.

Anderson writes powerful, seemingly simple poems of deep lyric intensity. Her poetry is concerned less with narative fact or sequence than with emotional or metaphysical truths; and her images parlay those truths I love how Anderson attempts to define poetry, hr own relations to the work and her work itself through metaphor - and such metapoetics is one of the reasons why I am grateful for "Windfall. You know, what is enough? People's expectations are greater than what you feel that you're going to give, and people always want more.
