Elaine Feinstein's poems are the harvest of a lifetime in
literature. This selection, made by the author herself, gathers
work from over half a century of published writing, and is
completed by a section of new poems.The selection ranges from early
poems of feminist rebellion and tender observation of children to
elegies for the poet's father and close friends, reflections on
middle-age, the conflicts in a long marriage, and meditations on
the lot of refugees. In new poems Feinstein records her treatment
for cancer, her feelings of dread in the clinic and unexpected
moments of 'extravagant happiness'. The exploration of memory is at
once a source of ironic amusement and an acknowledgement of human
transience.
