New & Collected Poems e-bog

Ruth Fainlight is one of Britain's most distinguished poets. Born in NewYork City, she has lived mostly in England since the age of 15, publishing her first collection, "e;Cages"e;, in 1966. Her poems 'give us truly new visions of usual and mysterious events' (A.S. Byatt). Each is a balancing act between thought and feeling, revealing otherness within the everyday, often measuring subtle shifts in relationships between women and men. Images of the moon, however interpreted -- whether as stern and stony presence or protective maternal symbol -- recur throughout her work.Peter Porter described one of her collections as having 'the steadiness and clarity of the moon itself'. This substantial "e;New & Collected Poems"e; covers work written over 50 years, drawing on over a dozen books as well as a whole new collection.
