The Girl with Bees in Her Hair - Wilner, Eleanor Rand

. .

Sommaire:

Eleanor Wilner's sixth collection creates a mythology that sees a planet too small and a universe too immense to support humanity's illusions of importance. Her poems become a choral work of the imagination in which science is re-envisioned, gender assumptions challenged and beliefs rigorously questioned. As the old gods are reabsorbed into the modern world, Wilner discovers new insights into culture and the human psyche.

I have always treasured Wilner's poetry for its visionary amplitude and revolutionary intelligence.--Alicia Ostriker
