Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Domain of Perfect Affection, 'Robin Becker explores the conditions under which we experience and resist pleasure: in beauty salon, summer camp, beach, backyard, or museum; New York or New Mexico. 'The Mosaic injunction against / the graven image' inspires meditations on drawings by Durer, Evans, Klee, Marin, and del Sarto. To the consolations of art and human intimacy, Becker brings playfulness--'Worry stole the kayaks and soured the milk'--suffused with self-knowledge: 'Worry wraps her long legs / around me, promises to be mine forever.' In 'The New Egypt,' the narrator mines her family's legacy: 'From my father I learned the dignity / of exile and the fire of acquisition, / not to live in places lightly, but to plant / the self like an orange tree in the desert.' Becker's shapely stanzas--couplets, tercets, quatrains, pantoum, sonnet, syllabics--subvert her colloquial diction, creating a seamless merging of subject and form. Luminous, sensual, these poems offer sharp pleasures as they argue, elegize, mourn, praise, and sing.
