AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Poetry. WHY THEY GROW WINGS won the 1999 Gerald Cable Book Award. Author of a previous book of short fiction and a chapbook, Nin Andrews' work has been published in many magazines. What sensual enchantments and imaginative adventures await the reader of Nin Andrews' latest volume. Her poems are witty, vivacious, surprising. Houdini will show up and paraphrase Heraclitus. Or the sign at the Pasta Palace (Cook Needed) will turn into an erotic daydream (Cock Needed) with the logic of an entry in a book of lies. Andrews liberates debased forms (the chain letter, the earnest Yuletide family report) and assimilates unusual influences (Borges, Henri Michaux) in her highly distinctive prose poems. She has an energining effect: reading her makes you want to write. I'm crazy about this poet. -- David Lehman.Andrews, Nin is the author of 'Why They Grow Wings' with ISBN 9781878851154 and ISBN 1878851152.
