Beauties on Mad River (Library of Public Policy and Public Administration),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionBeauties on Mad River collects together fifteen years of poetry that has appeared in three Signal Editions: The Fabulous Disguise of Ourselves, South of the Tudo Bem Caf (1990), and What Dante Did With Loss (1994). This is poetry that, in the words of George Elliot Clarke, 'maps not so much the world as the soul.'Almost half the poems in this volume are new many of the 'keystone' poems inspired by the spirit of the eastern lyric form, the ghazal. 'Through the medium of the keystone poems,' Conn states, 'I perceive more clearly now, and in ways that I did not previously, the themes of individual earlier pieces... These 'plateau' pieces have functioned for me as true keystones, as revelatory glimpses back into my work of the last fifteen years.'ReviewConn's skill . . . reflects on every mad moment, interrogating the demands of everyday love and perpetual loss.
