Jackknife: New and Selected PoemsIn 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. Always landing in meaning, we are inside the body not in a confessional voice, not autobiography but arriving through the expanded, exploded image of many stories and genders. The new poems leap imagistically
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. Always landing in meaning, we are inside the body-not in a confessional voice, not autobiography-but arriving through the expanded, exploded image of many stories and genders. The new poems leap imagistically from the known world to the purely imagined, as in the voice in "Abortion with Gun Barrel" "I am the counselor, /there are cracks in the barrel of the gun/there is aiming/shots of sorrow-/ shots of light." Commitment to a rabid feminist voice continues, but arrival has a new ring to it, with beginnings rescripted: "I am a bastard./I walk around in this body of mine." Beatty's fascination with the highway and the breakout West jackknifes at the crossroads of the brutal and the white plains of loss-the body torn down and resurrected in the twenty first century.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful Hotel-Like Shower Curtain
Color: White, Size: 72"W x 96"L (Pack of 1), Color: White, Size: 72"W x 96"L (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this shower curtain. The waffle texture gives it such a clean, luxury hotel look and the quality feels really nice and heavy. Putting the curtains all the way up to the ceiling honestly makes my bathroom look so much bigger and more elegant.
It was very easy to put up an easy to use. I don’t get the actual shower curtain wet, but it is water resistant because I did try it so I won’t know if it is mildew resistant because I have a shower curtain liner between it and the water. It is very light absorbent, when it’s closed, you can’t see out the shower and it does make the shower a little bit dark.
I did get it a little too long for my space, but I’ll be using fabric tape to adjust it, so it’s an easy fix. I’m also thinking about ordering another one to do the double curtain look because it looks that good. Overall, very happy with this purchase!

I absolutely love this shower curtain! The waffle texture looks so elegant and instantly made my bathroom feel more updated and spa-like. The material feels thick and good quality, and it hangs really nicely. The color was exactly as pictured and it’s held up great so far. Definitely a simple way to make the bathroom look much more high-end!

Durable and Nice Color, But No Magnets
Color: Brown, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
This shower curtain looks really nice and has held up well so far. The color is a rich chocolate brown, just like the picture, and it looks great in the bathroom. The color is accurate to the picture used in the listing.
Installation was very easy, and the holes for the curtain rings are reinforced, which makes it feel durable and well made. I like that it seems sturdy and not flimsy.
One thing to note is that the Amazon listing suggested magnets for durability, but this curtain does not have magnets. Since I use it as an outer decorative curtain with a plastic inner liner, that hasn’t really been an issue and mold hasn’t been a problem either.
I would definitely recommend using a plastic liner with it. Overall, it looks nice, installs easily, and seems durable.
