 | | The Switching/Yard(1st Edition) (Pitt Poetry Series) by Jan Beatty Paperback, 80 Pages, Published 2013 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-6241-0, ISBN: 0-8229-6241-1 "In Jan Beatty s fourth collection, "The Switching/Yard, " she takes us through the ravaged landscape of the American West. In unflinching lines of burning lyric and relentless narrative, she forges the constructed body into movement. What is still stereotyped as the romantic journey now becomes as scarred as the Rust Belt. What lives in our collective unconscious as the Golden West becomes almost surreal, as these poems snap that vision ..." |

 | | Jackknife(1st Edition) New and Selected Poems (Pitt Poetry Series) by Jan Beatty Paperback, 168 Pages, Published 2017 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-6449-0, ISBN: 0-8229-6449-X "In Jackknife: New and Selected Poems, Beatty travels the turns and collisions of over twenty years of work. She moves from first-person narratives to poems that straddle the page in fragments, to lines that sprawl with long lines of train tracks.

 | | Boneshaker(1st Edition) (Pitt Poetry Series) by Jan Beatty Paperback, 104 Pages, Published 2002 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5779-9, ISBN: 0-8229-5779-5 "In hard-hitting, sophisticated, often lyrical language, Jan Beatty investigates the idea of the body as cultural machine, shelter, mirage, or home. She rescripts the birth scene with girders and industrial pulleys; the womb as inhabited by a young girl architect. Structurally adventurous, the poems in Boneshaker question icons and invoke taboos, connect desire with place and class, walk the tightrope between sex and love." |

She risks relative boldness and deep emotional commitment, disregarding political correctness in respect for this less readily sanitized realm o ..." |
