📘 Selected poems

by Fanny Howe

"The theme of these poems is the exile of the spirit in this world and the painfully exciting, yet small margin in which return from exile is imaginable and perhaps even possible." "Boston is the setting of some of the early poems, and Ireland, the birthplace of Howe's mother, the geographic home of O'Clock, a series of poems whose subject is the spirit, many of which are included in this selection." "Metaphysics and the physical world play off each other in Howe's work."--BOOK JACKET.

📘 One crossed out

by Fanny Howe

Fanny Howe's new collection presents a portrait painted from the inside of the life of a homeless woman. The poems speak in the voice of May, the girl crossed out, the bad girl, the mad and drunk girl, the jailed and drugged girl. May is swirling in language, and the language convinces us that we really are deep in the core of a human consciousness, near the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart. May is a neonomad, bringing to the world the opposite of worldliness, offering a glimpse of the invisible.
