Winner of the St. Lawrence Book Award
"What a striking pantheon the deities of Stefi Weisburd's The WInd-Up Gods make. It is that rare book unafraid of ambition and ideas, of scope, while never sacrificing emotion, never receding into dead rhetoric. "God what cold star are you" asks one poem and smartly never answers as Newtonian Girl and little gods float about in strange physics and kleptopoets steal words like candy. This book, this poet, will steal you too."
