ARNOLD, Elizabeth. Civilization. Chicago: Flood Editions, 2006. First Edition. Trade paperback. 214x152mm. 79pp. As New.

"These poems move from politics and history to an intimate gesture, from ancient fragments and architectural facades to a father's face. The layers Arnold excavates in the process are both archaeological and psychological; at the limits of civilization we find both silence and archaic force, 'the white-noise granulated light, a sand-storm whiteout.'" (from the back cover).
