<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A personal journey through faith and history, wherein anger is redeemed through passion and art.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Ivory Cradle</i> is the winner of the third annual <i>American Poetry Review</i> /Honickman First Book Prize, as chosen by poet Robert Creeley. In his introduction, Creeley writes, now and again one comes upon a story so quietly and articulately told that it stays in mind long after, echoing, recasting the usual frames of reference and order, making whatever it is the world had been thought to be, quite changed and even, again, unknown. <i>Ivory Cradle</i> is such a story as it charts a personal journey through questions of faith and history, with its anger redeemed by passion and the transformative power of art. <p/>from Morning in Florence <p/><i>I was out the door and halfway to the elevator<br>When he threatened to throw<br>my clothes into the lobby. With the baby to think of<br>I had to know when to stay or go <p/>So I headed out alone into the consoling brown light<br>Off the river, feeling the child<br>Swimming carefully inside me as I walked to see<br>Fra Angelico's frescoes in cells <p/>Where monks once slept and knelt, contemplated<br>And vanished; where in rapture he worked<br>fast as the plaster dried to get light to wash the wall<br>the way God would have done it</i> <p/><i>Ivory Cradle</i> announces a poet fully formed, fully mature, and wild to say things in ways they've never been said before. Rarely, very rarely, is a so-sane heart so beautifully articulated. This is not just an exceptional first book, it is a flat-out exceptional book, period. --Thomas Lux <p/>Reading Anne Marie Macari's poems I think of Jane Kenyon, in her kindred humor, quietness, fierceness, and plain integrity. But this poet is 'flowering dark.'--Jean Valentine <p/><b>Anne Marie Macari</b> lives in Mt. Kisco, New York.
