One Hundred Steps from Shore 
by Jenifer Browne
Lawrence
In these brave
and powerful poems, Jenifer Browne Lawrence looks hard at her past, at loss and
sorrow, at the great mystery at the heart of our world. Many of the poems in
One Hundred Steps from Shore are elegaic, but what strikes me most in her work
is how elegy turns from grief, to wonder, to praise. Theodore Roethke says, "In
a dark time the eye begins to see."
"In this book, Jenifer
Browne Lawrence demonstrates how the creative act, the poem itself, not only
helps us to see, but is a way of illuminating the world and transforming the
self. This is a brilliant first book by a promising new
poet."
