Winner of the 2013 FutureCycle Poetry Book Prize. David Pichaske writes in the Foreword to this collection: 'Thirty-five years is a long time in anyones career-long enough to see how things turned out. Long enough to allow us to draw some conclusions. Long enough to trace the arc of a career.' Joan Colby: Selected Poems represents a body of work 'underwritten by an intelligence itself as fiery as it is sharp' Philip Dacey , 'both loud and haunting, both vivid and quiet as a falling stone' Christina Zawadiwsky . Includes selections from Blue Woman Dancing in the Nerve 1979 , Chagall Poems 1980 , Dream Tree 1980 , The Boundary Waters 1982 , How the Sky Begins to Fall 1982 , The Atrocity Book 1986 , The Lonely Hearts Killers 1986 , and Dead Horses 2012 .
