Download or read book Bat Ode written by Jeredith Merrin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Bat Ode speak to the way we live today and how it feels to occupy such a mongrel, fast-changing, postmodern world. Yet rather than breaking with the linguistic or poetic past, these poems seem to renew it with a fresh vision. Jeredith Merrin's sense of humor, her formal poise, her heart and wit, situate her as one of our most convincing social poets.
