Ann Townsend is the author of Dime Store Erotics (1998). She is the recipient of a NEA Fellowship, an Individual Artist's grant from the Ohio Arts Council, and a Discovery Prize from The Nation. Her poems have appeared in many anthologies, including The Pushcart Prize XX, The New Young American Poets, American Poetry: The Next Generation, and The New American Poets: A Bread Loaf Anthology. An Associate Professor of English at Denison University, she lives in Granville, Ohio.
"Ann Townsend's new, transformative work reconciles the rich traditions of such representative figures as Marvell, Thomson, and Clare. Alternately metaphysical and pastoral, "The Coronary Garden is acute in detail and subtle in its formal commitments. The poet's light and luminous touch is everywhere. Townsend is especially telling in her hold on the life within her reach, both her domestic, romantic, immediate world and those other, contemplative, interior gardens. She is a country poet, whose nurturing power is persuasion."--Stanley Plumly
