When faced with life's most difficult challenges and dealing with
personal tragedy, perhaps what most sets a poet apart from someone else is the
ability to put into words in the most artful way the brutal, the delicate,
ineffable, obvious, esoteric, or universal in human experience. Or, as that
homespun and inelegant saying about life's lemons puts it: to make lemonade.
Read review
An absolutely insightful and dynamic review, which of course makes one want very much to devour "The Quick & the Dead," the latest & prize-garnering chapbook of poetry by Elizabeth Harrington! Mr. Lyon reviews the Harrington "canon" with both care & toughness.
ReplyDeleteThis treatment, I expect, reflects the two sides of most of Elizabeth's work in "The Quick & the Dead." Having been silly enough not to buy THIS book immediately, I expect to remedy that groaning deficiency in my literary airs ASAP going forward!
Cheers, Larry
