Immortal Medusa - Paperback

by Barbara Louise Ungar (Author)

Barbara Ungar's fourth book pushes into new realms of imagery and questioning. Loss begets both suffering and adventure, and with an inimitably female vitality the voice in these poems insists again and again on the delivery of grace in many forms: family that lasts, love that is honest even before it is kind, and words that carry meaning forward from history and into the future. These are poems for the educated and edgy, including heroes from Emily Dickinson to Vermeer to Lady Gaga to the noble porcupine.
