Your Autobiography: Poems

Angebote / Angebote:

Takes on the large issues of war and espionage, ethics and theology, identity and family. The author's travels to Russia began in 1965, where she meta Latvian and the two tried to marry but authorities refused to allow it. In this book, reference to earlier wars, (e.g. Vietnam, Syria) leads to Bonhoeffer's battle with the Nazis on behalf of his church. The poet's responses to Bonhoeffer's statement allow a dialog to form from different points of view. That dialog leads to a sequence about the author's sister and various "family or domestic wars." Now that Cherry is the only one left standing, she wishes she could bring them all back, and tries to do so in this book - her sister especially. The collection ends with Cherry's translation of "The Fortunes of Men, " which examines how God, perhaps better called lady Luck, plays her cards.
