Brenda Shaughnessy is one of America’s most audacious and thrilling poets. In Tanya she weaves a tapestry of literary heritage and intimate reflection as she pays tribute to women artists and mentors, and circles the mysteries of friendship, love, art, and loss. Tanya is her sixth collection, her first since Liquid Flesh: New & Selected Poems.
Brenda Shaughnessy Knihy
Brenda Shaughnessy je autorkou, ktorej poézia skúma zložitosť ľudskej skúsenosti s naliehavosťou a elektrickou intenzitou. Jej básne rezonujú silným zmyslom pre humor aj hlbokou zraniteľnosťou, často sa zaoberajú témami identity, tela a vzťahov. Shaughnessy píše s jedinečným, surovým a zároveň lyrickým hlasom, ktorý vťahuje čitateľov do víru emócií a myšlienok. Jej dielo je oslavované pre svoju odvážnu úprimnosť a schopnosť nachádzať krásu a bolesť v každodennosti.
