Enduring Freedom - Softcover

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
