In poems initially inspired by Aeschylus' fifth-century B.C. trilogy "The Oresteia," which chronicles the fall of the House of Atreides, Loose Strife investigates the classical sense of loose strife, namely "to loose battle" or "sow chaos," a concept which is still very much with us more than twenty-five hundred years later.

Pitt Poetry Series. 80 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry Women. DESCRIPTION - Past praise for Water Puppets: 'The vocabulary [Barry] employs. is stark and stunning, a victory against these brutal themes. There can be no denial: the winner of the 2010 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry is a demanding, worthwhile read.' - TriQuarterly. 'Above all, [Barry] forces us to remember what we don't want to see, to hold our inhumanity up against the 'shards of beauty' in the world, so that we may not forget what it is that gives our lives meaning.' - Iowa Review. 'Some will find Barry's subjects - genocidal war, pornography, the slaughter of Thanksgiving turkeys - disconcerting, but she treats them with a candor, persistence, and tonal control that aims to question and comprehend rather than simply indict or dismiss. An engrossing collection.' - Library Journal. inventory #41396. N° de réf. du vendeur z41396
