Opis

"Kathy Fagan's "The Charm" works the true spells of childhood, the superstitions of romance, the bewitching alchemies of words themselves and casts us sun-struck in our lives - doomed, yes, but 'dovewinged.' Fact, speculation, nostalgia, and mystery are wielded with equal power and stunning craft. Fagan is writing some of the wisest and alluring poems of our day." (Beckian Fritz Goldberg). "There is something both very old and very new - archaic and postmodern - in Kathy Fagan's wise-cracking charms to assuage rage and despair, to ward off misfortune and heartbreak. "The Charm" dissolves the leaden circles in the air and charms with fresh carols." (Edward Hirsch). "Kathy Fagan's rage is subtle, her loves draw you in, and there is a driving curiosity that comes only with great respect for life." (Bob Hicok). Kathy Fagan is the author of "Lip", "Moving & St Rage", winner of the Vassar Miller Prize for Poetry, and "The Raft", a "National Poetry Series" selection. She is professor of English at Ohio State University.
