Beschreibung

In her remarkable collection, "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed," Amy Lowell explores the intricate interplay between personal emotion and natural imagery, using the vividness of sensory detail to bring her inner world to life. The poems reflect Lowell'Äôs keen interest in Imagism, a movement she helped popularize, characterized by clear, sharp images and a precision of language. Each piece is deftly crafted, merging the themes of desire, loss, and the ephemeral nature of beauty, typical of early 20th-century modernist poetry, while maintaining a lyrical grace that distinguishes her voice in the literary canon. Amy Lowell, an influential American poet, was a prominent figure in the Imagist movement and a fierce advocate for women'Äôs contributions to literature. Her personal experiences, including her struggles with societal conventions and her deep fascination with art and culture, profoundly influenced her work. Lowell'Äôs bold expression and innovative style, along with her interest in Eastern philosophy and aesthetics, provided her with a unique lens through which she viewed the world, setting the stage for this compelling collection. "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed" is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern poetry and the rich emotional landscapes crafted by women writers. Lowell's mastery of imagery and ability to convey complex emotions with economy and beauty make this collection a poignant exploration of the human condition, inviting readers to linger over every delicate line.

    Based on her experience as a wilderness guide for women in a substance-abuse treatment program, Mary Ardery’s visceral debut is set deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. These narrative-lyric poems chronicle a labor both physically and emotionally intense: bearing witness to campfire confessions, facing uphill climbs and frigid rivers and wildfires, reckoning with relapses and overdoses. Here is a nuanced exploration of intoxication and recovery, the ways we share and manage pain, and how our personal histories can haunt us but also lead us down transformative paths. Firmly grounded in time and place, part record and part elegy, this is a book for those who have been affected by addiction and all who have ever sought solace or redemption in nature.
