Red Rover

Klappentext "Red Rover" is both the name of a children's game and a formless spirit! a god of release and permission! called upon in the course of that game. The "red rover" is also a thread of desire! and a clue to the forces of love and antipathy that shape our fate. In her most innovative work to date! award-winning poet and critic Susan Stewart remembers the antithetical forces--falling and rising! coming and going! circling and centering--revealed in such games and traces them out to many other cycles. Ranging among traditional! open! and newly-invented forms! and including a series of free translations of medieval dream visions and love poems! "Red Rover" begins as a historical meditation on our fall and grows into a song of praise for the green and turning world. Zusammenfassung Ranging among traditional! open! and newly invented forms! and including a series of free translations of medieval dream visions and love poems! this title begins as a historical meditation on our fall and grows into a song of praise for the green and turning world.
