內容簡介: |
The evolution of Margaret Atwood''s poetry illuminates one of
our major literary talents. Here, as in her novels, is intensity
combined with sardonic detachment, and in these early poems her
genius for a level stare at the ordinary is wonderfully apparent.
Just as startling is her ability to contrast the everyday with the
terrifying: ''Each time I hit a key on my electric typewriter
speaking of peaceful trees another village explodes.'' Her poetic
voice is crystal clear, insistent, unmistakably her own. Through
bus trips and postcards, wilderness and trivia, she reflects the
passion and energy of a writer intensely engaged with her craft and
the world. Two former collections, Poems 1965 - 1975 and Poems 1976
- 1986, are presented together with her latest collection, Morning
in the Burned House, in this omnibus that represents the
development of a major poet.
