Summary: Ms. Catherine Wagner IS Miss America!
Comment: Catherine Wagner's iconoclastic poems cast a wide net over her witty critiques of contemporary public culture. From national anthems to irreverent folk songs to the staples of mainstream news magazines, Wagner's hauntingly, rhythmical voice redefines poetics and the nation with a sharp stroke of genius.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Spare, Intimate Challenge
Comment: Wagner's book has been compared to Jack Spicer's work and to the work of John Berryman. Both poets have clearly had an influence, but Wagner's poems are far more combative. I thought to say, put your hand in Wagner's book and she'll slap the tar out of you. That would be my blurb, and I mean it in the best way. Reading Miss America, you engage an intelligence -- much as if you were forced to really read a miss America rather than just look at her treats and snacks. The treats and snack are here, too, but you got to pay the lady her propers.

Summary: A book I carry in my pocket with Margaret and Dusty
Comment: Miss America is luminous and rewarding. Catherine Wagner has given us a book of poetry that is profoundly unpretentious, honest and goddamn brave. Though the arrangement of language may at times seem demanding, one gets the feeling that the poems are demanding infinitely more from themselves than they demand from us. Poems like "Bleak Apt" and "When I Asked You to Marry Me" have illuminated my stupidities for me more than once, and have kept inviting me back. Miss America is generous company.
