A Brief History of Time

A Brief History of Time Beers' first collection of poetry is at once an exploration of what it is to grow up in rural America and a treatise for social justice. These poems many of them award-winning span a wide range of styles-from plainsong free verse to sestinas to nearly epic works. The characters/speakers in Beers' poems range from the rural working class to mythological characters. These poems look at the world with an honest unflinching eye. She is one of the up-and-coming poets from Generation X we will be hearing a great deal from in the future.
