Synopsis
Those who have traveled know the experience of extended time and sharpened perception. Muriel Rukeyser's account of Puck Fair ― the last existing pagan festival of the goat ― captures just that state of consciousness. Set in County Kerry, Ireland, The Orgy evokes this great American poet's journey of sensual and psychological transformation in the midst of a lush account of Irish culture and tradition. With a preface by Sharon Olds.
