Anti-nostalgic and mutagenerative, productive of thought-experience even while centered on finalities the limitations of human purview these poems make sound and image about image and sound at the auratic edges of individualist glamour, in a country field. Their sensuous wit and emotional availability work against and with their flinty grit.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '''On a day fresh as a haircut' writes Beth Roberts, 'I left the family for the field. / I looked hard for the body.' This is a book of setting out, of looking for the body--familial, sexual, spiritual, poetic--from which we were somehow, long ago, severed. These poems inhabit, unflinchingly, the 'invented and inflicted holes' of a consciousness that is by turns grieving, ironic, self-lacerating, celebratory. Roberts' faith in the renovating powers of lyric tradition is as anxious as it is necessary. This book is gorgeous and true.' (Mark Levine)'--. Artikel-Nr. 9781944380199
