Produktbeschreibung
"Needlework, as this brilliant book makes plain, has been trivialized and dismissed as mere "women's work." The poems here, however, present the powerful counterpoint that work with the needle, from the flame-stitch to embroidery, is both a skill and a foundation for female artistic expression. It is a hands-on art, passed from woman to woman through the generations. Such passage also entails the vital connections to selfhood, history, meaning, and wisdom. This is a book that syllable by syllable as if stitch by stitch, creates patterns that exceed the confines of artistic form by reclaiming form and redefining it, with a total effect that is affirming and transcendent. What a joy it is to inhabit this world in which the needle and the pen share the labors of love. After all, love is a most subversive expression. This book is proof." -Maurice Manning

Autorenporträt
Mary Leader is from Oklahoma. She is well on the other side of rearing children there, practicing law there, turning late to poetry there, and, at age 49, publishing her first book of poems, Red Signature, a selection in the prestigious National Poetry Series. She also spent years in scattered collegiate settings: Massachusetts, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana. Now she has moved back to Oklahoma, her vantage point. The majority of her work, meanwhile, has traveled to Great Britain. The Wood That Will be Used is her sixth collection, her fourth from Shearsman Books, whose present location is in Oxfordshire.
