by Kate Monaghan (Author)

Winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award

"Disputed Site marks the arrival of an important new voice in American poetry. With lyricism informed by a truly humane spirit, and the clear-eyed inquisitiveness of a research scientist, Kate Monaghan is a poet of marvelous clarities and wide-world-faring vision."

-Bradford Morrow

"Kate Monaghan is also a poet of courage and compassion who can adapt her imaginative apparatus to some of the harshest realities of our world-foreign wars, fraught and dangerous borders, people condemned to brutal toil-and show us how our most intimate awareness of ourselves is inseparable from our moral and human responsibilities."

-Vijay Seshadri
