A Daughter's Latitude: New & Selected PoemsCopper Canyon Press, 1999 - 259 páginas Enriched by a lifetime of travel across the United States and Asia, Karen Swenson exposes local genius and folly - in all its moral ambiguity - with sardonic humor, pathos, and hope. In A Daughter's Latitude, Swenson combines new poems with work from four previous volumes, including the 1993 National Poetry Series winner, The Landlady in Bangkok. Tough-minded yet accessible and good-spirited, this thirty-year retrospective highlights one of the most original and engaging poets writing today. |
