Produktbeschreibung

Expansive poems connect personal, national, and global histories

In her wide-ranging third book, poet Kathleen Flenniken undertakes the difficult task of re-seeing what is before us. Post Romantic fuses personal memory with national and ecological upheaval, interweaving narratives of family, nuclear history, love of country, and a dangerous age moving too fast. Flenniken takes these challenging momentsbits and pieces of childhood, marriage, cultural touchstonesand holds them up to the light, seeking comfort in a complicated world that is at once heartbreaking, confounding, and dear.
