Hand & Skull (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Zoë Brigley | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This third collection draws on the Welsh landscape and the harshness of rural life, as well as on Brigley's later immersion in the American landscape and her perception of a sense of hollowness in particular communities here. Other strands include the horror of violence, especially violence towards women, contrasted with poems which offer comfort by working as beatitudes or seeking a way of being that is more beautiful. There are also epistolary poems, letters to or from real, imagined and remembered women like the artist Georgia O'Keeffe, Thomas Hardy's Tess, and Edna Pontellier from Kate Chopin's The Awakening. Brigley (Thompson) grew up in Wales, and is now an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University. All of her titles, including this one, have been Poetry Book Society recommendations.
