Poems

“I was struck by the muscle, size shadows, and nuance of her work.”—Linda Gregg, Barnard Women Poets Prize

Julie Sheehan’s poems are like nothing else: woven of nature guides and self-help books, legal argot and street slang, the sway, jangle, and far-flung syntax of our unruly language all the way down to its gnarly roots in Chaucer.

“Sheehan is a surrealist in the kitchen, a documentarian of dreams.”—Bob Holman

Julie Sheehan lives on Long Island, New York. Her first collection of poems was Thaw.
