Produktbeschreibung

Come the Sweet By and By is the first recipient of the Juniper Prize, an award granted yearly by the University of Massachusetts Press for an outstanding poetry manuscript. "The unifying theme of these poems," writes Ms. Lerman, "is getting by--no matter how strange, difficult, absurd or grievous are the circumstances you find yourself in, there must be a way to survive them." "Many of these poems are love poems, written at the point where love stopped being easy and somehow became a question of faith, a matter of believing that despite what happens, in the end, the love that's left will be enough to get you through your last day."

Autorenporträt

Eleanor Lerman has already established herself as a highly regarded young poet. Commenting on her first book of poems, Armed Love, which was a 1973 National Book Award nominee, reviewers noted: "The poems are clear in wildness, disturbing, brilliantly lighted, often felt as wholes"--The Sewanee Review. ..". there is a weird, intense imagination at work in Lerman's poems, and a genuine energy of expression. Like Nicanor Parra's 'anti-poetry, ' her diction opposes the heightened expression of things to the resistance of ordinary language; the result is a validation of the dream, the world in which the unconscious operates, over the intransigent nature of reality"--The Boston Phoenix.
