Description
Poetry. This is the fourth collection by Kathleen Peirce, whose earlier work won the Associated Writing Programs Prize, the Iowa Prize, and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. She teaches at Texas State University.Of this book, the poet Jean Valentine has written: "Startling in their mystery, these poems are entirely original: abstract and passionate, sensual and otherworldly, trance-like and exciting. They are told through a 'we,' perhaps all of us human beings, remembering; yet strangely, too, each of us experiencing everything alone. The Ardors is a book that takes us beyond ourselves, beyond our workaday bodies and souls."
