Title details for Louise in Love by Mary Jo Bang - Wait list

Louise in Love

by Mary Jo Bang
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Poems inspired by silent-film star Louise Brooks from the National Book Critics Award–winning author of Elegy and acclaimed translator of Dante’s Inferno.
 
In this stunning collection of poems, Mary Jo Bang jettisons the reader into the dreamlike world of Louise, a woman in love. With language delicate, smooth, and wryly funny, Louise is on a voyage without destination, traveling with a cast of enigmatic others, including her lover, Ham.
 
Louise is as musical as she is mysterious, and the reader is invited to listen. Bang, whose first collection was the prize-winning Apology for Want, both parodies and pays homage to the lyric tradition, borrowing its lush music and dramatic structure to give new voice to the old concerns of the late Romantic poets.
 
Louise in Love is a dramatic postmodern verse-novel. The poems, rife with literary allusion, take journeys to distant lands. And, like anyone on a voyage without a destination, they are endlessly questioning of the enigmatic world around them.
 
“One of the finest poets of her generation.” —Marjorie Perloff
