The Penultimate Suitor - Poems

In "The Penultimate Suitor" Mary Leader strips away comfortable layers of poetic self-protection to arrive at a position of acute emotional self-conflagration. Each poem turns upon and returns to the infuriating and glorious correlations between love and art. Learning to love, learning to make art, trying to make beauty, trying to be a beauty-all these efforts call for passionate explorations in the schools of art and love.

Riassunto

These poems rush the reader into the urgency of feelings - lovelorn, bawdy, grieving, pleading - but, never self-pitying. Each poem turns upon and returns to the infuriating and glorious correlations between love and art (learning to love, trying to make beauty or art, trying to be a beauty).
