Fascinating, revealing bio of one of our finest modern poets. Her struggles, her ambitions, the difficulties of being a woman writer in the 1950s and '60s come alive on the page. The author does an excellent job of making nearly 1000 pages of text ri ...more | |
"I waited until I was solidly on Zoloft to read this, just in case. Actually, it was an insightful examination of assisted suicide as an imagined industry. It made me think deep thoughts, not dark ones."

Beautiful, creative, brilliant, with science as poetry, as story, written to share a warning: save the trees, save the planet, save ourselves. A work of essential genius. | |

The Challenge Fac...: TCF's It's Called What??? (American version) | 82 | 300 | Feb 24, 2018 08:57PM |

“A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.”
