Reseña del editor:

In this volume, award-winning poet Elizabeth Socolow gives expression to the dislocation of a woman poet in her early forties—giving her sons to the world after having lost her marriage and its ready companionship of family life. In these poems the speaker often stands, startled, noticing some change in weather or emotion or expectation. They are especially internal and transitional, personal in that sense, but at the same time often outward-looking, a person used to sharing a life entering newly into conversation, like Emily Dickinson, with anything at all that comes to her in her world.

Biografía del autor:

Elizabeth Socolow won the Barnard Poetry Prize in 1987, and her ms. Laughing at Gravity: Conversations with Isaac Newton was published by Beacon Press in 1988. Her second short book of poems, Between Silence and Praise, was published in 2006 by Ragged Sky Press of Princeton, New Jersey (in a run of 500). She is a winner of the Isotope Magazine Poetry Prize and of the Canadian CV2 Two Day Poem Prize in 2006. Her care for her ailing sister, her father, and her robust students, teaching as an itinerant adjunct only, often at four institutions at once, accounts for the long gaps between publications. She was educated at Vassar College and at Harvard University, where she completed her doctoral work on Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama in England. After winning the Barnard Poetry Prize, she was a guest poet at Barnard College and at Vassar for two years. In 1990-91, the year after Dead Poets Society was filmed at St. Andrew’s School, she taught there (a living poet, in contrast to Robin Williams). She has taught at a community college in Pennsylvania and at high schools and universities in Michigan, as well as working as a teaching poet for The Writer’s Voice and for Terry Blackhawk’s astonishing public school program, Inside/Out. She worked as a poet in the schools in New Jersey, whose Council on the Arts twice gave her grants; she has lived most of her adult life in the Garden State after a New York City childhood. Her essay about horses and Sir Philip Sidney appeared in The Horse as Cultural Icon, edited by Peter Edwards, Karl A. E. Enenkel and Elspeth Graham (Brill, 2011). She is the mother of two sons and the grandmother of three young children.
