Selecting all the major poetry from her more than thirty years of
publishing, Susan Griffin demonstrates once again why she is a
major force in American letters. In poems ranging from the comic to
the tragic, from the personal to the politically strategic, she
maintains an essential element of domesticity as she addresses
subjects as diverse as mothering, myth and history, sex, food, and
filmmaking.
Tillie Olsen wrote of Griffin's last major collection
(Unremembered Country) "In some of these poems it is as if --
through the thousand doors of death, of anguish, Susan Griffin
entered, smelted in the crucible of our time -- and somehow
transmuted for us an integrative, a life-cherishing vision". Marge
Piercy has written that Griffin's poetry "wants to connect us
across the generations and across species, to place us where we
belong in a web of social caring inside nature, nurtured and
nurturing, but these poems never forget the forces and odds against
such tenderness".
