A ZYZZYVA FIRST BOOK

The Grammar of Nails
poems by Amy Scattergood

The Grammar of Nails is an enacting of attention that is beautiful and compelling and necessary. Amy Scattergood has attended to the needs and the offerings of the natural world surrounding her, as well as to the needs and offerings of language, and this book has become a collusion and a collision between word and world which is exciting and, in its clarity and precision, a little dangerous.”
