Winner of the 2007 Blue Lynx Prize for Poetry The voice of B. T. Shaw in this prize winning first collection is unlike what readers of American poetry are likely to find elsewhere. Heady, wry, private, sometimes ironic, it speaks from edges where the inner life surveys the objects and actions of that collective life narrative we call the world. This Dirty Little Heart is a singular accomplishment; almost eccentric, it yet manages to reveal to the reader countless recognitions, countless reasons to be happy we're alive.
