Produktbeschreibung
Opening with forty-three new formally inventive poems and leading the reader back in time through selections from her ten previous volumes, The Ghost Forest offers a contemplative and haunting narrative of a writer's artistic journey through craft and form while illuminating her personal history. Exploring the mysteries of science, nature, and the experiences of contemporary womanhood, Hahn both reinvents classic Japanese forms and experiments with traditional Western ones. Braided into the poems and narrative thread, a series of photos transforms the new-and-selected into a hybrid autobiography. This arresting collection derives new beauty from long-gone remnants. A Riotous Disorder She mistakes one word for another- Something her brain naturally concocts. Her unruly gray matter and her heart Mistake one word for an other- Razor for river, cistern for sister. Even cock for clock. She mistakes one word for a mother- A safe her brain naturally unlocks.-
