In the tradition of confessional and lyrical poets like Cynthia Cruz, Linda Gregg, Sylvia Plath, and Franz Wright, Another Woman explores female sexuality, anguish, and abjection within the decline of a romantic relationship as well as through biblical, mythical, or pop cultural figures such as Delilah, Aphrodite, or Karen Carpenter. Through compressed prose and a fierce attentiveness to the natural landscape, Another Woman depicts the atomization of heartbreak with, what Dwight Garner writes of Frank Stanford's poetry, a "dirt-flecked" urgency. The collection culminates in new gradations and understandings of what it means to be a woman-and the multiplicity of selves that live within one body.
