What most distinguishes Carol Muske's poetry is her awareness of the complicated web into which the personal and the political, the familial and the feminist, are woven. Filled with audible contemplation—invocation, echo, dreamsong, dirge—Muske's lyrical precision, assured touch, and exacting clarity make her one of the most talented poets of her generation.An Octave Above Thunder\u003cb\u003eNew Poems\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike This\u003cbr\u003eSled\u003cbr\u003eAn Octave Above Tunder\u003cbr\u003eHaving Fled the Cité Universitaire (Paris, 1970)\u003cbr\u003eMiracles\u003cbr\u003eBlue Kashmir, '74\u003cbr\u003eBenares\u003cbr\u003eAt the School for the Gifted\u003cbr\u003ePacemaker\u003cbr\u003eBlue Rose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom\u003ci\u003e Camouflage\u003c\/i\u003e (1975)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRendezvous with a Harp\u003cbr\u003eSwansong\u003cbr\u003eFreezing to Death\u003cbr\u003eChild with Six Fingers\u003cbr\u003eSalad Days: Nebraska, 1964\u003cbr\u003eHyena\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eSkylight\u003c\/i\u003e (1981)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Painter's Daughter\u003cbr\u003eThe Invention of Cuisine\u003cbr\u003eCoral Sea, 1945\u003cbr\u003eRansom\u003cbr\u003eGolden Retriever\u003cbr\u003eWorry\u003cbr\u003ePoem\u003cbr\u003eFireflies\u003cbr\u003eChivalry\u003cbr\u003eCheap Scent\u003cbr\u003eWar Crimes\u003cbr\u003eCensus\u003cbr\u003eSkylight\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Delivery to Curtis: The Future of the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eWyndmere\u003c\/i\u003e (1985)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlood Hour\u003cbr\u003eWyndmere, Windemere\u003cbr\u003eThe Way a Swan Turns\u003cbr\u003eChina White\u003cbr\u003eAnna\u003cbr\u003eDe-icing the Wings\u003cbr\u003eSurprise\u003cbr\u003eAfterwards\u003cbr\u003eA Fresco\u003cbr\u003eDavid\u003cbr\u003eWe Drive Through Tyndall's Theory of Sight\u003cbr\u003eAugust, Los Angeles, Lullaby\u003cbr\u003eSounding\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eApplause\u003c\/i\u003e (1989)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDream\u003cbr\u003eAfter Care\u003cbr\u003eBox\u003cbr\u003ePediatrics\u003cbr\u003eSkid\u003cbr\u003eIdeal\u003cbr\u003eImmunity\u003cbr\u003eSummer Cold\u003cbr\u003eMonk's House, Rodmell\u003cbr\u003eThe Eulogy\u003cbr\u003eEx-Embassy\u003cbr\u003eApplause\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eRed Trousseau\u003c\/i\u003e (1993)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the Muse\u003cbr\u003eLucifer\u003cbr\u003eTheories of Education\u003cbr\u003eFrog Pond\u003cbr\u003eLittle L.
