"Margaret Ray is pulling back the curtains on our societal performance of culture, guiding an exposing light to the daily performance that is life in a woman's body. Selected by Stephanie Burt as the winner of the A. Poulin Jr. Poetry Prize, Margaret Ray's Good Grief, the Ground interrogates the everyday violences nonchalantly inflicted unto women through personal, political, and national lenses. Moving between adolescence and adulthood, Ray alternates between dark humor and heart-wrenching honesty to explore grief, anxiety, queer longing, girlhood, escape from an abusive relationship, and the dangers of lending language to a thing. With stunning wit and precision and attention, we see Ray show us what it is to be human: the mess of tenderness and darkness and animosity. Out of the heavy Florida dusk, out of peach juice and late-night swimming pool break-ins and grocery store aisles comes these completely captivating poems. In the words of Stephanie Burt: "Come and see. Take care. Dive in.""-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Though an alter-ego Particle Physicist named Wanda appeals to me, the poems and the way they were sectioned off made me feel that they belonged in a different collection.
I'm very glad I read the poems before I read the foreword because I thought it took away from the work.
I liked the use of the meteorological symbol for a thunderstorm, but with the amount it was used, I wanted it explained at the beginning, or in a poem, and had looked it up online before I found it explained at the end. Having that note at the beginning when the symbol first appears would connect it more to the poems.
Though this is a collection of poems that, to me, did not sound better read aloud, it's a collection one can return to and enjoy again and again for its daring, creativity and wit. (
