Open House: Poems

beth ann fennelly

Open House is the year 2001 winner of the Kenyon Review Prize in Poetry
for a First Book. We at Zoo are eminently pleased to have such a fine
book of verse for our inaugural Kenyon Review Prize volume. Fennelly's
poems are well poised in their witty and sometime sassy ruminations,
often "maximalist" in their scope (see "From L' HUtel Terminus
Notebooks") and the pleasure one takes within them is of the rarest
breed: it is the pleasure of unexpected revelation. Open House comes
introduced by series judge and Kenyon Review poetry editor, David Baker.
