How the Hand Behaves,a chapbook by Anne Higgins, will be published by Finishing Line Press November 30, 2009.
" It is not the grand gesture that makes Anne Higgins’ poems memorable, for she is far more interested in subtle observation. Anne is a poet/ naturalist who responds to the world, and its intellect, with precision and interest. These poems preserve experience with craft and measure. But more, beyond the report, is a rare happiness with the particulars of daily existence."
Grace Cavalieri
"Anne Higgins’ chapbook collection How the Hand Behaves traverses scenes of fragility and fortitude. This is poetry that is up close, inside, and direct. Though brief, the poems are richly detailed. The hands in these varied landscapes are present in fear, joy, anger, and play. There are ghosts of hands, absent hands, empty hands, clutching and wrenching hands, hands that trace, practice, sow, juggle. Here too are the hands of the artist, the writer, hands that have been broken and broken in. Most of all, readers of How the Hand Behaves will feel at completely at ease in the very capable hands of this compelling poet."
