Paperback. "Her poems [are].a particular and splendid instance of what Hopkins meant by 'proper poetry, the language of inspiration.'"--Richard Howard Political outrage rustles the high grasses of these ingenious lyrics, which often employ the ecologies of both the Florida panhandle and the Aegean coast to slyly portray humanity's foibles. Formally inventive (included is a series of "monosonnets"), Wade's is a boisterous poetry, one that takes pleasure in itself even during its conniptions of incredulity at the behavior of people in power (and in particular one dubiously elected president).

Inhaltsangabe:

Political outrage rustles the high grasses of these ingenious, boisterous poems, alternately set in the lush ecologies of the Florida panhandle and the Aegean coast. Sidney Wade's poems are social and political commentaries dressed in the costumes of the pastoral, of light verse, and of allegory. Throughout Stroke, Wade displays a fascination for language as a living and growing thing with an unprecedented capacity for mischief and coercion. This collection represents an increasingly rare accomplishment: a poetry that is at once high-spirited and deadly serious.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Sidney Wade is Professor of English at the University of Florida.
