" 'In the Beginning and the End' marks the dramatic appearance of a major new voice in contemporary poetry. Pierce's poems are rooted in the American experience, where "we had a barn where Grandma and Grandpa / made love on the floor / to celebrate the purchase of the land." But the author, unconstrained, is a "night train", and her acreage is the cosmos. Buy this book."

This book contains not only poetry by the author, but full color images captured by the author of her visual artwork.

Excerpt
Coz you make me want to die
Coz you make me dead already
Coz you grind my life hours down
So Bosses of the world
I should kill you and then
Kill myself
I should kill myself and then
Everybody else
I think in death we'll
All get on better.

TO THE STILLNESS, THE SILENCE, AND THE ENDLESS BOREDOM
TO THE DUMB BLUEBIRD IN BROKEN TREES
TO THE BOTTLES AND THE LOST EYES
TO THE ONES WHO SAID THEY'D MAKE IT
WHAT DOES ANYONE EVER REALLY KNOW?
IF IT'S TRUTH THEN IT'S SOMETHING
IF IT'S TRUTH THEN IT'S A POEM
