Stone Milk

0/5 ( ratings)

The poems of Stone Milk address the way the written word preserves yet distorts the lives depending on it for fame or survival. Anne Stevenson's highly engaging new collection opens with A Lament for the Makers, an experimental sequence based on medieval dream poetry that plays with a Dantesque yet modern, scientific vision of an underworld of poets. This is followed by a series of shorter poems, mostly related to aging and the prospect of dying. The Myth of Medea ends the book on a note both stoic and merry, despite its frank look at the reality of death.

Language: English

Pages: 72

Format: Paperback
