Title
The Cradle Of The Real Life (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A Poet Speaks Of The Deaths And Births That Come Within A Life: Alcoholism, Womanhood, Depression, Marriage, Motherhood, Psychotherapy, Sex, Poetry.In Jean Valentine'S First Book, Her Poems Transformed Dreams Into Living Experience By Means Of Luminous Language That Echoed The Unconscious Mind'S Revelations. In Her Later Books, She Almost Reverses This Process To Show Life As Veiled And Inconclusive, Suggestive Rather Than Definitive. The Elliptical Yet Lucid Craft Of Her Poems Presents Experience As Only Imperfectly Graspable. The Poems Ride Lightly On The Waves Of Thought, More Textures Than Statements. Some Readers Have Characterized Valentine As A Deep Image Writer, But Syntactically Her Work Is More Akin To The Work Of Mandelstam And Paul Celan Than To That Of Lorca And Neruda.The Cradle Of The Real Life Is Divided Into Two Sections, The Shorter First Section Dealing With Loss And Death And The Longer Second Section, Entitled Her Lost Book, Which Weaves Memories With Various Metaphors For Writing, And Deals Specifically With The Problem Of Women'S Writing. These Finely Wrought Pieces Take Stark Subject Matter And Make It Shimmer; The Poems Take Their Shape As Much From The Absences As From The Words, Just As Life Is Given Meaning By The Losses We Survive.
