Conversation with the Stone Wife by Natalie Eibert (2014)


 Conversation with the Stone Wife

Natalie Eibert

Bloof Books Chapbook Series

(c) 2014

#33 of 100 printed. 

Natalie Elbert's rocket really took off shortly after the publication of this chapbook. She is the author of Indictus, winner of Noemi Press's 2016 Poetry Prize, as well as the poetry collection, Swan Feast (Bloof Books, 2015). Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming from POETRY, Granta, The Jewish Current, The New YorkerTin HouseThe Kenyon ReviewThe Brooklyn Rail, and elsewhere. She was the recipient of the 2016 Jay C. and Ruth Halls Poetry Fellowship at University of Wisconsin–Madison and is the founding editor of The Atlas Review.

This chapbook, although only produced in a run of 100 numbered copies, had multiple cover images; possibly by the same artist. Interestingly enough, nearly all of the poems in this collection were published previously in different publications and yet together are a "completed thought" and I truly do appreciate a book of poetry that is in fact a completed thought.
