We Lit The Lamps Ourselves

Viac o knihe

The works of revered women writers, particularly the Bronte sisters, Emily Dickinson, and Sylvia Plath, have been such a lens for Andrea Potos. Her poems in this collection pursue the trail of creative genius in their lives. Potos is on intimate terms with her subjects, while journeys to their homes offer relics of their history, true marvels for a pilgrim. These vibrant, impressionistic poems are haunted by lives long past whose voices still ring clear and strong. 2013 Oustanding Achievement Award in Poetry from Wisconsin Library Association.
