Elaine Feinstein

Opis

In The Clinic, Memory, Elaine Feinstein has selected poems from the last half century of her writing life. They range widely: tender, early lyrics from 'In a Green Eye'; elegies for her father and close friends, amused reflections on ageing and longer poems such as 'Gold', based on the life of Lorenzo da Ponte, Mozart's librettist, or the lot of refugees in 'Migration'. Other poems explore the conflicts in a long marriage, teased out most poignantly in poems for her late husband in 'Talking to the Dead'.
