Proofreading the Histories

$9.95

Proofreading the Histories fuses personal and public life. These speakers may wish for privacy, but the public world, with all its ethical and emotional demands, always encroaches. In these poems the bedroom is wired straight to the street. The vocabulary is direct, accessible, at times surreal, musically and visually rich, and situated in real history and real politics, even though dream continually intrudes. The title poem was nominated for a 1994 Pushcart Prize.
