Description
An Individual History describes the fears, anger and guilt-personal, familial, societal, political and historical-that comprise a life. The figure of the speaker's maternal grandmother who was institutionalised for five decades serves as an overriding metaphor for this haunting, bold new work by an essential American poet.
