Lizzie Borden in Love is a dangerous and elegant collection from one of America's finest young poets." - Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Great with Child and Tender Hooks, "With crispness and casual elegance, Baggott inhabits a startling variety of personalities and idioms. In reopening their lives, she is reopening history, retelling it intimately and urgently and wisely in the voices of the women themselves.Baggott's talent is almost spooky.



Part biographer, part ventriloquist, part genius, she inhabits characters we thought we knew-from Katharine Hepburn toHelen Keller.
