Linda Gregerson

Magnetic North (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This stunning collection from the award-winning poet Linda Gregerson examines the intersections of history, science, and art.Touching on subjects as diverse as a breakthrough discovery in cell biology and the films of Ingmar Bergman, the anatomy of a possum and the Nazi occupation of Poland, Gregerson seeks to distill the shape of the question, the tenuous connection between knowing and suffering, between the brightness of the body and the shadows of the mind. Choose any angle you like, she writes, the world is split in two. Longtime readers of Gregersons poetry will be fascinated by her departure from the supple tercets in which she has worked for nearly twenty years: Magnetic North is a bold anthology of formal experiments. It is also a heartening act of sustained attention from one of our most mindful American poets.
