WHICH WAY WAS NORTH
"Anne Pierson Wiese's hauntingly direct poems take us into the bone vault of America where we can hear a heartbeat." —Henri Cole
Which Way Was North, the second collection of poems by Anne Pierson Wiese, includes work from her years in New York City and her years in South Dakota. Here, she creates a new territory of the mind that invites the reader to see similarity as well as difference between these distinct regions of America.
