from "Night Drive":
And I am driving, driving for Jimmy Wonderland
down the white line of my own intentions,
glancing in the rear-view mirror with a stone's cold eye.

Alice Friman was, for many years, a New Yorker in Indianapolis, where she supported her work as a poet by teaching at the University of Indianapolis. In 2003 she became a New Yorker in Milledgeville, GA. She has written seven collections of poetry. She has won the Ezra Pound Poetry Award, three prizes from the Poetry Society of America, a fellowship from the Indiana Arts Commission, and many other honors.
X. J. Kennedy characterized Alice Friman's poetry well when he wrote, about the poems in Zoo (U of Arkansas Press, 1999): "Here's a poet with lively eyes, ears, and imagination. Her poems engrave themselves in memory by their accurate metaphors and sharp details. She can be wild without losing control, tender without ever waxing sentimental."
