Synopsis
Past Praise for Martha Rhodes's Mother Quiet:
"The aim of poetry (and the higher kind of thriller) is to be unexpected and memorable. So a poem about death might treat it in a way that combines the bizarre and the banal: the Other Side as some kind of institution--a creepy hospital, an officious hotel or retirement home. Martha Rhodes takes such an approach in 'Ambassadors to the Dead, ' from her abrupt, unsettling, artfully distorted, indelible new book Mother Quiet. Blending the matter-of-fact with the surreal, as a way of comprehending the stunning, final reality, Rhodes is an inheritor of Emily Dickinson's many poems on the same subject."
--Robert Pinsky, Washington Post

Pitt Poetry Series. 72 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry Women. DESCRIPTION - 'In books that are as demanding as they are beautiful, Martha Rhodes has been mapping the psychic terrain of family life and romantic life in contemporary America. The way we are betrayed by others, the way we betray ourselves, the way love is both harbor and harm, the way memory is both a form of elation and of wounding - Rhodes looks at our instances of extremity and somehow turns them into bittersweet lyric utterance. Spare and unsparing, The Thin Wall is Rhodes doing her most powerful work so far.' - Rick Barot. 'The Thin Wall - between care and resentment, protectiveness and rage, betrayal and abandonment - marks the furious, vital poems in Martha Rhodes' fifth collection. These poems enact a fierce reckoning with families rent from within or without, trailing attempts at refuge like ripped streamers from a cut-rate lot: no one escapes the creosote of The Thin Wall's collapse. Martha Rhodes has long been one of our finest poets, and now she has written her best and most moving book.' - Susan Wheeler. inventory #42045. Seller Inventory # z42045
