The Squanicook Eclogues

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Melissa Green's debut collection, The Squanicook Eclogues, was honored with prizes from the Poetry Society of America and the Academy of American Poets on its first publication by Norton in 1987. Now, in 2010, the volume is being reprinted by Pen & Anvil Press. In the four elegies of The Squanicook Eclogues, Green examines how "duty and devotion are the same when love and terror walk together." From her father, so familiar with the "iconography of trees," Green's young speaker learns how to catalogue the flora and fauna with a meticulous eye. As Joseph Brodsky noted, Green has written "wonderful eclogues ... Virgil would be proud."
