Howe's theme is the exile of the spirit in this world and the painfully exciting, tiny margin in which movement out of exile is imaginable and perhaps possible. Her best poems are simultaneously investigations of that possibility and protests against the difficulty of salvation. Boston is the setting of some of the early poems, and Ireland, the birthplace of Howe's mother, is the home of O'Clock, a spiritually piquant series of short poems included in Selected Poems. The metaphysics and the physics of this world play off each other in these poems, and there is a toughness to Howe's unique, fertile nervousness of spirit. Her spare style makes a nest for the soul: Zero built a nest in my navel. Incurable Longing. Blood too-- From violent actions It's a nest belonging to one But zero uses it And its pleasure is its own --from The QuietistLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 272gAuthor: Fanny HoweGenre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: New California PoetryRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
