Modern Marriage and the Lyric Sequence investigates the ways in
which some of our best poets writing in English have used poetic
sequences to capture the lived experience of marriage. Beginning in
1862 with George Meredith's Modern Love, Jane Hedley's study
utilizes the rubrics of temporality, dialogue, and triangulation to
bring a deeply rooted and vitally interesting poetic genre into
focus. Its twentieth- and twenty-first-century practitioners have
included Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Lowell, Rita Dove, Eavan
Boland, Louise Gluck, Anne Carson, Ted Hughes, Claudia Emerson,
Rachel Zucker, and Sharon Olds. In their poetic sequences the
flourishing or failure of a particular marriage is always at stake,
but as that relationship plays out over time, each sequence also
speaks to larger questions: why we marry, what a marriage is, what
our collective stake is in other people's marriages. In the book's
final chapter gay marriage presents a fresh testing ground for
these questions, in light of the US Supreme Court's affirmation of
same-sex marriage.
