Robin Morgan works magic with her words
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I bought this book (hardcover) sometime in 1993 & it remains one of my all-time favorite poetry volumes. Morgan's poetry expresses her radical feminist political stance, yet it also transcends politics and speaks to the greater human experience. Her work reaches out on so many levels that I have yet to find someone (of either gender) who truly cannot appreciate its depth and value. It seems, also, that each time I return to her words I find new lessons and new meanings. I wholeheartedly recommend this book as well as her other earlier volumes of poetry: Monster, Lady of the Beasts, and Depth Perception. Her later volume, A Hot January, is also worth exploring--though I enjoy it less than her early works. In short, read her work. You won't regret it...
