Inhaltsangabe
Poetry. As the subtitle specifies, "A Little Book of Mechanical Brides," Laura Mullen's sixth collection of poetry, ENDURING FREEDOM, is an often harrowing and almost always amusing dissection of the instituion of marriage. With its step-by-step analysis, from betrothal, to shower, to announcement, to its extraordinarily comprehensive and scathing catalog of brides and weddings, Mullen's poetic environment, and the language that sustains it, is as remarkable as it is disquieting. In the dedication, "To those in the Theater of Operations," Mullen previews a refreshing look at the by-now cliched "battle of the sexes."
"ENDURING FREEDOM [is] a galloping great read, a page-turner, and dazzles with linguistic mischief and wit.... I already wanted to buy it for a friend. I am thrilled by it."—Hazel White

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Poetry. Taking--and twisting--the title of an Iraq operation for its own, Laura Mullen's seventh book might be summed up in the phrase Andr Breton famously applied to Frieda Kahlo: a bomb with a ribbon around it. An extraordinarily comprehensive, sympathetic and scathing, catalog of brides, this collection of poems is also an examination of the emotional costs of a sustained attention to party planning in the face of an almost invisible war. Influenced equally by Italo Calvino and Martha Stewart, playing with conceptual poetry as well as Romance clich s, Mullen's poetic environment, and the language that sustains it, is as remarkable as it is disquieting.ENDURING FREDOM is] a galloping great read, a page-turner, and dazzles with linguistic mischief and wit. I already wanted to buy it for a friend. I am thrilled by it.--Hazel White. Artikel-Nr. 00082950886
