"Lyrical narratives that chronicle a long marriage, rich with wit, dark irony, and poignancy. Entering History opens on a middle-aged couple, whose relationship weaves throughout the collection. In "Portrait of My Husband Reading Henry James," the poet paints her husband using syntax and language that evoke James's. In "Venasque," the wintry village serves as a metaphor for the existential crisis facing the couple. Mary Stewart Hammond then bends the narrative arc backward, closing Entering History where it began, with the couple, now older, harkening back to the bed they shared when they were newlyweds"-- No library descriptions found. |
