The Tension Zone Author:Sarah Gorham Poetry, co-winner of Four Way Books Award Series. — "...Gorman's The Tension Zone will not be easily subsumed under any banner. Perhaps its most easily notable feature is the homage it pays to forms. By forms I mean not only literary forms... Gorman's intelligence is shot through with regard (a patient's n... more »aturalist's regard) for the shapes of organic life... (She) administers her Arts towards that rare end- the paradoxical snap when two crucial things come together - structural necessity and intellectual surprise - a convergence that nature has always made convincing."
