Recently, I’ve been dipping into poetry books for a poem here and there, reading many online, and then I sat down and read Grace Schulman’s poetry collection, The Marble Bed. They were good, but most of her poems simply didn’t grab me. I felt a kinship and some connection with the ones dealing with death—a subject that I ponder very often—but even after a second reading, I continued to feel separate from her words. While she did call up some excellent images, and also interesting references to many artists and locations, this simply was not the poet for me at the time. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Grace Schulman rises to new heights in these poems of lament and praise. The Marble Bed refers to a couple dancing on a shore that is at once a shining turf and a graveyard of sea toss, of cracked shells, a skull-like carapace, and emerald weed. Here things sparkle with newness: an orchid come alive when rescued from a trash bin; the new year hidden in an egret's wing; Coltrane's ecstatic flight; a seductive, come-hither angel; a meteor's arc; a rainbow's painted ribbons' a glacial rock that glowers in the moonlight. Even the tomb sculptures in an Italian cemetery sparkle with vitality. Schulman, grieving for her late husband, believes passionately in the power of art to redeem human transience. Her faith in art enables her to move from mourning to joyful wonder of existence as she meditates on an injured world and concludes: "Because I cannot lose the injured world / without losing the world, / I'll have to praise it.""-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
