A Hot January

Robin Morgan''s work celebrated for its vindication of female experience and its evocation of the zeitgeist is here intensely personal and powerful in new ways. In her sixth book of poems prize-winning poet Robin Morgan undertakes a radical departure from her previous work as she locates the landscape of her vision in the stark isolation of a self confronting love''s aftermath its losses and its undeniable betrayals. In poems documenting a seven-year silence Morgan''s voice emerges markedly different sounding a singular passage through a private hell of despair the madness of a Hot January to a place of furious peace in which the artist weeps to recognize the self I''d fled to find.
