Women's Poetry - Poems and Advice

Daisy Fried's third book of poetry is a book of unsettling, unsettled Americans. There is nothing like this book, because there is nothing in it but America. No comfort, no consolation, no life-affirming pats on the back, no despair about God, no fear or acceptance of death, no irrational exuberance, no guilt or weariness, no misery even in the middle of personal and political crisis. Plenty of humour and plenty of seriousness. Joy. And a new kind of poetry: not nice, but rich and real.
