Description
Poetry. Jenny Gough has written an original, unusual, passionate book, saturated with historical and textual resonance. The stakes of this work are very high -- the whole poetic tradition is put into, pulled into play, including the notion of the line, the issue of sonnet, the female figure in culture, the center and the margin, and erasure and presence. This book is a tour de force of the intellectual and vibrant possession of a lyric tradition -- Rachel Blau DuPlessis.
