Inhaltsangabe

The Complete Works of Pat Parker includes Parker's poetic masterwork, Movement in Black, as well as the poetry collection Jonestown & other madness, in addition to her published essays and other prose, along with two unpublished plays and a number of previously uncollected poems. The tenth anniversary edition adds a new index of titles and first lines for each of the poems.Editor Julie R. Enszer notes, " The breadth of creative output collected here demonstrates the seriousness of Parker's overall work as a writer. Beginning in 1963, when she was nineteen years old, and continuing until she died in 1989, Parker took her work as a writer seriously. Gathering as much of it as possible into a single volume invites readers to take it seriously as well."
