Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Emily Grosholz renders these spaces with the clarity and sharpness of a classical sculptor, and with a comparable aesthetic 'coolness' that, for those who fail to read carefully, who fail to enter into the emotional truths embodied in the lines, seems almost to belie the passion the finished sculpture contains." -- Prairie Schooner

Reseña del editor:

In her third book of poetry Emily Grosholz brings together forty lyric, narrative, and epistolary poems that trace a pilgrimage from the Eden of childhood through alienation and loss to an earthly paradise regained as the poet establishes her own family and a new sense of the purposes of her art. The route traverses Detroit in the early twenties, Paris and Washington, D.C., in the early seventies, Athens and Toronto in the mid-eighties, yesterday's Thimphu and Cassis. But it always returns to the poet's heartland, Philadelphia and the back country of Pennsylvania and New York. Punctuated by meditations on solitude and death, the poems come full circle to the pleasures of marriage, of friends and children, of creation. To her husband, the poet writes, "However often now our woven/ lives converge and separate, my love,/ today we've come this far." And to her son, "With you fast in my arms,/ I'm back again in the heart's Italy."
