Publisher : Winner of the 1999 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize The thirty-three narrative, linguistically-adventurous poems in She Didn’t Mean To Do It range freely among styles and voices. Examining human emotions and behavior in all their contradictions, Daisy Fried turns a perceptive eye on those around her. Fried integrates metaphoric flights and idiosyncratic narrative, surprising us with the details–“I saw that the wisteria/in dusk its same color hung (heavier than/the breasts of stabbed and stabber ever would be)”–while her characters traipse across lines and pages. These are poems about human relationships, mostly romantic and sexual. They’re also about jobs and work: urban, action-packed and socially aware.
