Summary:
The author of Madness, Rack, and Honey and Trances of the Blast, Mary Ruefle continues to be one of the most dazzling poets in America. This collection, comprised of short essays and prose poems, is a brilliant and charming display of her humor, deep imagination, mindfulness, and play in a finely crafted edition. Personalia: "When I was young, a fortune-teller told me that an old woman who wanted to die had accidentally become lodged in
my
body. Slowly, over time, and taking great care in following esoteric instructions, including lavender baths and the ritual burial of keys in the backyard, I rid myself of her presence. Now I am an old woman who wants to die and lodged inside me is a young woman dying to live; I work on her." Mary Ruefle has published ten other books of poetry, a book of prose (The Most of It), and a comic book, Go Home and Go to Bed!; she is also an erasure artist whose treatments of nineteenth-century texts have been exhibited in museums and galleries as well as published in the book A Little White Shadow. She lives in Bennington, Vermont and teaches in the MFA program at Vermont College.
