The Principle Agent

The winner of the Hudson Prize, THE PRINCIPLE AGENT is a book of poetry that combines a fragmented love story with the concept of uncontrollable circumstance. At the forefront of this collection is the obvious narrative; however, by exploring definitions and meaning through altered repetitions, this book becomes a maze of language.

Suzor seems to channel Sappho in her lean modern-day poems, a narrative made up of fragments that expose a razor-sharp intelligence, an unnerving sophistication, an echo of the poet Anne Carson.
