Produktbeschreibung

Finalist, 2017 Miller Williams Poetry Prize, edited by Billy Collins Forces an eye-opening change in perspective. Billy CollinsIn Mr. Stevens Secretary, a fictional assistant to Wallace Stevens juggles her roles as a mother, a wife, a believer, and a working woman. Privy at times to the famous poet s personal life, the secretary must balance her curiosity about Stevens with her commitment to her husband, her faith, and the life she desires.This vivid and compelling character struggles with fears of mental illness and the challenges of working for a prominent, reserved man, all while adjusting to new environs. She leaves her home, and her job, as she contemplates whether her marriage is worth saving and if she can reconcile the Baptist faith of her upbringing with the questions raised by her new place in the world. Throughout, we are witness to her complex relationship with the famous modernist poet, and with writing itself.
