The Elektra PoemsAlan Marshfield
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback (80 pages) (Pub. Sep 1982) 9780856460852 Out of Stock
Alan Marshfield’s first major collection brings together poems written over twenty years. As the title implies many of his poems relate, however obliquely, to an idea of the feminine. Male and female polarities set the imaginative field in which he explores tensions between the physical and the metaphysical. His meditations on death and history are especially powerful. |
