Description
I Am You collects three new poems: "The Aim of All Nature Is Beauty," which Tardos wrote soon after the death or her husband and frequent collaborator Jackson Mac Low; "Letting Go," a 100-page poem which combines memoir and self-examination in the face of loss, and the 50-page "The Letter: A Bloodbath." These works deal frankly with aspects of grief and recovery, celebration and life building in poems of haunting, fragmentary beauty, which both reflect and record anger, hope and love, and provide us with a testament to a partnership built around creative compulsion, fun, and linguistic exultation.
