Her 2007 collection, <em>Modern Life</em>, was a <em>New York Times</em> Notable Book, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. Weston Cutter, writing for <em>Bookslut</em>, has called Harvey's work "a form of courage, an act of daring at the outer limits of poetry." <br> <br> In this recording from the 2010 Key West Literary Seminar, Harvey begins with an unpublished poem that has an image for its title. She continues with two more unpublished poems, "My Wolf-Sister" and "My Octopus Orphan," and a selection of works from <em>Modern Life</em>, including "Inside the Good Idea," "The Future of Terror" parts 1 and 11, "A Theory of Generations," and "Emphasis on Mister or Peanut, Robo or Boy." The final two poems are the uncollected "Baked Alaska, A Theory Of" and "Everything Must Go."
