The inaugural volume in the new Spotlight poetry series, "Where Shadows Will" selects from twenty years of innovative poetry by writer, painter, and translator Norma Cole. Cole has been a fixture of the Bay Area scene since 1977, writing melodic and experimental poetry whose shadow-haunted landscapes embody an exploration of the relationship between language, self, and world. Cole was a member of the circle of poets around Robert Duncan and a fellow traveler of the language poets. Drawing on long out-of-print volumes and recent books--such as her acclaimed "Spinoza in Her Youth" (2002)--"Where Shadows Will" confirms Cole's place as a major avant-garde poet and a leading voice among contemporary women writers.
