M-A-C-N-O-L-I-A
Generous and genuine poems—and many a spirit is raised by the strength of Jordan's confident voice.—Eleanor WilnerIn 1936, teenager MacNolia Cox became the first African American finalist in the National Spelling Bee Competition. Supposedly prevented from winning, the precocious child who dreamed of becoming a doctor was changed irrevocably. Her story, told in a poignant nonlinear narrative, illustrates the power of a pivotal moment in a life.

Figment
Winner of the 2003 Barnard Women Poets Prize, a new award for a poet's second collection.Figment is a book of dark and witty poems, an amalgam of discrete parts: postconfessional lyric; poems that inhabit a territory of attempted engagement, of earnest failure to engage; poems written under the guiding star of the sentence fragment; and a series of spoofs and riffs on the vagaries of social interactions.
