Beskrivning
Master craftsperson, renowned feminist poet and activist Robin Becker explores a number of themes in this bountiful selection of new and selected poems. Midsummer Count collects the best work of Robin Becker, considered by many to be the foremost feminist poet of her generation. With selections from each of her previously published books and nearly thirty new poems, readers enter Becker’s lifelong exploration of childhood, animals, cherished places, complex friendships, and romantic intimacy. A life-affirming current yokes these narratives across time, even as a sister’s early suicide haunts the decades. In blank and free verse, in couplets, quatrains, and sonnets, the poet wrestles formal tensions, creating a present-day idiom for beauty, grief, and compassion. Lovers of Becker’s work and those new to it will find in Midsummer Count a master class by one of today’s most dynamic poets.

“For decades, and certainly since her Lambda Literary Awardwinning All-American Girl, Robin Becker has inspired and instructed us on how to be the portrait of the artist as a Jewish woman, a lesbian, a sister, a daughter, a lover, a traveler, and a teacher of the craft of poetry. With grace and grit, the poems that span her career now reside together in one volume to magnify their mastery and thematic conversations over time.” - Sandra Yannone, author of The Glass Studio
