Nebraska Book Award, Poetry HonorUnholy Heart includes generous selections from each of Grace Bauer’s previous books of poetry, plus a sampling of new poems. Bauer has long been known for the wide range of both her subject matter and poetic styles, from the biblical persona poems of The Women at the Well, to the explorations of visual art in Beholding Eye, to the intersections of personal history and pop culture in Retreats and Recognitions and Nowhere All At Once, and to the postmodern fragmentations in MEAN/TIME. Along with these selections, Bauer incorporates her most elegiac work yet.

Bauer's poems probe the dark landscapes between impression and apprehension, the past, and its repetition through imaginative transformation, impulse, and restraint. Her delivery is tough and terse; her imagery is fresh and often startling. Her poems are poignant, intelligent, and believable.

“In The Women at the Well, Bauer sings out ofsilent alternative stories of the Biblical women shefirst encountered as a schoolgirl listening to thenuns. Wry humor is only one element of Bauer’silluminating re-vision as she inhabits her womenin the longing, sassiness, rebellion, compassion,wavering, and triumph. She lets them like eachother—Rachel and Leah reconcile—and letsthem relish their bodies. Mary complains aboutnever ‘knowing pleasure.’ She creates The ProdigalDaughter who, like Woolf ’s Judith Shakespeare,experiences a vastly different fate from her malecounterpart’s. But unlike poor Judith, this daughtersurvives and bears her own girl child . . . I had myfavorites among Bauer’s women, and you will,too. Whoever they are, the Bible will never be thesame.”—Carole Simmons Oles
