Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

96 pages. Cover worn A new poetry collection that takes readers among ?the unsilent women?, fr om Hipparchia to J. K. Rowling. ?Women who speak have always been monstrous. T hat twisty sphinx, those tempting sirens; better plug your ears with wax, boys.? ?? Where are the female philosophers? Why are women silenced? Who can tell us ho w to live? In her fourth collection of poetry, Helen Rickerby takes readers on a journey into women?s writing, a quest for philosophical answers, and an inves tigation of poetic form. The poems in How to Live engage in a conversation with ?the unsilent women? ? Hipparchia and George Eliot, Ban Zhao and Mary Shel ley. They do so in order to explore philosophical and practical questions: how o ne could or should live a good life, how to be happy, how to not die, how to liv e. Rickerby thinks through the ways that poetry can build up and deconstruct a l ife, how the subtext and layers inherent in poetry can add to the telling of a l ife story, and how different perspectives can be incorporated into one work ? the place where poetry meets essay, where fiction meets non-fiction, where biogr aphy meets autobiography, where plain-speaking meets lyricism, where form pushes against digression. The work is witty (?Perhaps I should ban ?perhaps.? ?) and self-reflexive (?Am I afraid that if I let the words leak out, they?l l mix with oxygen and become prose??) as Rickerby draws on the intensity, symb olism and layering of poetic form, using poetry as a space of exploration of ide as, of thinking, of essaying.
