Back Cover Content
Lithe, elegant, and expertly framed, the poems of Séance light down on the page and lift the reader into exotic backdrops and brilliantly timed escapes. From Falcarragh to Galápagos, Fuller’s precise approach begs the reader's active participation as her words nestle and cohere. This swan swings, and leaves memorable markings and graceful maneuvers in her wide-winged embrace of this lost world and the one that extends beyond our earthly remains.
—Keith Flynn
In Janice Fuller’s stunning third book, the dead and the living sit at the same table, reach across distances of time and space—through recovered diaries, lunar surface snapshots, and in the perfectly imperfect topography of a lover’s body. Fuller’s command of poetic forms is striking and her metaphors sharply original: a child’s knees are radio knobs; a flag’s stripe, a laceration. But finally it is the ghostly marriage of hand and heart that haunts the reader long after the séance is over.
—Rebecca McClanahan
In Séance we feel the tension and beloved expectation of worlds about to receive, in detail, in tender language, in real light, their living mythologies. Brought very near, eternity speaks clearly here.
—Donald Revell

Content
Janice Fuller’s wily Sex Education educates us in much more than
sex, though her deftly polished poems are as incisive on that
subject as on many others. Richly textured and delicately
nuanced, Fuller’s book schools us in divorce and love and grief
and childhood loneliness as she muses, with winning candor, on
growing up American and traveling around Europe and on a range
of other matters, including, for instance, the death of a fierce
geometry teacher who “will lie in the ground straight and flat,
/ the shortest distance between math and eternity,” and the
comically poignant couplings of variegated sea urchins, whose
passions strangely mirror those of humans: “one barbed heart
against another.”
—Sandra M. Gilbert
An exuberant collection, brimful of
lyrical force and wonder, intricately weaving meticulous craft
and infinite energy. Life itself is the pulse on the page.
—Menna Elfyn
Though the poems in Sex Education
range geographically from Celtic Britain to piedmont Carolina,
Janice Fuller's true landscape is the heart-land of memory,
loss, and, most of all, desire. Her language is vivid and
memorable, the metaphors and similes making unexpected but
convincing connections. Sex Education is a stunning book.
