MEAN/TIME

“Grace Bauer’s MEAN/TIME crackles with intelligence and heart. Reading this book is fuel for anyone’s imagination. It does what poetry can do—it takes your mind where it hasn’t gone before.”—Dara Wier, author of You Good Thing

“In MEAN/TIME truth and its necessary consolations grace our lives as we go about ‘maintaining / the sacred by performing the mundane.’”—Michael Waters, author of Gospel Night

“Grace Bauer is a poet at the height of her powers. The landscape of American poetry is brightened considerably by the verve of MEAN/TIME.”—Marilyn Kallet, author of The Love That Moves Me
