Shepherdess with an Automatic is intense and perceptive, full of lyrical, descriptively vivid poems that range across cities and centuries. From bleak British moors to the crowded London underground, from steamy American summers in rural settings to the chaos of urban club scenes, these poems capture history's vibrant, unsettling presence in contemporary times.

Poetry. ASSIGNATION AT VANISHING POINT by Jane Satterfield is one of the winners of the Elixir Press Third Annual Poetry Awards. This is her second book of poetry. "Jane Satterfield 's poems are fierce in their intelligence, capacious in their ardor, tuned to the mutable dictions and sedimented histories--the gorgeous, harrowing embeddedness of life on Earth. The vanishing point? Perspective requires it. This beautiful book redeems it"--Linda Gregerson. Her work has appeared in such publications as The Antioch Review, Indiana Review, and Quarterly West.

<p>Poetry. HER FAMILIARS is Jane Satterfield's third book of poetry. This collection winds its way through civilization, history, and popular culture like a newly imagined animal and becomes a "familiar" to every reader. Kevin Prufer had this to say about it: "Jane Satterfield brings an astonishing range of subjects to HER FAMILIARS, handling them with keen intelligence, musical intricacy, and tonal dexterity. Here, she tells of a child's encounter of tragedy through a poetry recitation, or the life of an exemplary (and little known) woman ceramic artist, or the collapse of human communities through history (concluding, disconcertingly, with the vanishing of bees today). Jane Satterfield's poems are intimate, graceful, and brilliant, composed around issues of social and political importance. Reading them, I feel I have made a friend whose company I enjoy and whose insight, wit and commitment I greatly admire. These are terrific poems."</p>
