Description

First Edition. 8vo, original black cloth over boards, lettered in silver on the spine and in the original dust jacket. 69 pp. A fine copy in the dust jacket.

Edizione: “maxine kumin’s sixth collection of poetry, is a searing inquiry into the least acceptable realities of life: the death of a parent, the suicide of a best friend, the growing away of children, the middle age when ‘the time on either side of now stands fast glinting like jagged window glass.’<br> “‘.we are, each one of us, our own prisoner. we are locked up in our own story.’ full of questions that have passionate resolve, the poems in the collection hold on and let go, lending each of us the courage to look into our own lives, our own story.”-publisher
