Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Philomel, Whose Reputation Precedes Her measures the distance between a poetic form and a form to fill out. Stanza by stanza, the figure of Philomela asks you to remember, not what happened, but who she is. These poems are full of holes: the failures of narrative, the wounded vagina and mouth of the myth, the gaps that refuse to close between feminist action and poetic tradition. In the lineage of H.D.'s Helen in Egypt, and with a nod to Sylvia Plath, Philomela glances side-eye, a self beyond the body and beyond tradition, always two birds in the bush whatever you might hold in your hand.
