Trio

Planet Parable, Run: A Verse-History of Victoria Woodhull, and Endless Body

Beschreibung

"Trio: three books of poetry -- Planet Parable, by Karen Donovan; Run, by Diane Raptosh; Endless Body by Daneen Wardrop-bound together in one accommodating volume; three distinct and fully realized, absorbing universes that stand on their own but, here, not apart. Inevitably, serendipitously, the intelligences, preoccupations, prosodic signatures begin to reverberate and ricochet, not just for readers but for the poets themselves, who together, in an afterward, comment on the project and create an intriguing cento of combined lines. Individually, Karen Donovan's poems unspool lyric macrocosms and microcosms with equal and precise astonishment; Diane Raptosh's poems unveil and reclaim with intimacy the spiritual, sexual and political history of Victoria Woodhull, an American feminist purged from the annals; and the poems of Dareen Wardrop, with close and darting attention, create an intricate, syncopated network. Each of these three poets, with daring and mastery, compels on her own; together in Trio, their synergy is riveting"--
