Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, Susan Blackwell Ramsey’s A Mind Like This is a work of humor and wit, unexpectedly delightful and full of surprises as it reflects on the oddness of everyday life, the natural world, literary history, popular culture, and more.

Neruda makes an appearance, as do Eric Clapton and Brahms, Leonard and Virginia Woolf, and Jimmy Stewart.

What impact will a dying mother’s tragic prediction have on the life of her newborn daughter? In the hectic halls of a mental hospital, a woman pleads with the nurses to attach a handwritten poem to the daughter she’s about to give birth to. The nurses tell the woman she’s overreacting because she believes she won’t survive childhood. But just as she predicted, the woman who gives birth to Sonnet slips away shortly afterward.
