Description
In this rapacious world, we eat or are eaten-so poet-critic Sandra M. Gilbert suggests throughout Judgment Day, her tenth collection of poems. Tracing this theme through the range of histories that make us who we are-private, public, religious, artistic, even culinary-Gilbert meditates on recent events as well as the sacred turnings of time, great works of graphic art, and the personal crises that continually reshape our lives.
Reviews / Votes
"Unswerving perspectives on beauty and pain-on age, and loss-give grace and surprise to each page...These intimate, moving, meticulously crafted poems will stay with the reader for a long time." -- Eavan Boland "Judgment Day, with formal virtuosity, explores food and its multiple cultural meanings, infuses a series of ekphrastic poems with history, often includes love lyric and elegy in one poem, gives us politically charged narratives of childhood and young womanhood in New York, and a wry and revolutionary look at an ageing body still desiring, desired, and in motion." -- Marilyn HackerMore details
