Marianne Boruch

Eventually One Dreams the Real Thing, Marianne Boruch's ninth collection of poetry, contains within it a deep and fatal irony paired with irrepressible wonder. This is a book of wars and plague; of gargoyles, Gregorian chants, and Galileo; of reading in bed and a bat loose in the house; of mostrar más hurricanes, mermaids, a vicious schoolteacher; of grief and "life-glad." Unafraid to think out loud and follow an image to whatever curious, dangerous destination, Boruch never fails to disquiet and delight. mostrar menos
