This book collects over four decades of work by this unique and
imaginative poet. Wronsky's poems, informed by her reading of
classical texts as well as contemporary poetics, explore feminism,
environmentalism, and mortality in language that is both
multi-layered and musical. At times dark and at times humorous, her
poems speak to our strengths as well as our frailties.
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated into
Spanish by Alicia Partnoy. Characters from A Midsummer Night's
Dream float into and out of contemporary landscapes contemplating
love, art, language, and otherness in mischievous and serious ways.
Here "quick bright things" "come to confusion" but often to
tenderness and understanding. Alicia Partnoy's inspired
translations uncover surprising surreal beauty and cross-cultural
insight.
Poems of India in all their attention to sensuous detail, vibrancy
and celebration.
A collaboration by a legendary artist and a writer hailed by David
St. John as “a poet of lasting beauty and relentless invention”
Gronk was raised in East Los Angeles and lives in downtown
LA. Gail Wronsky was raised in suburban Detroit and lives in the
hippie haven of Topanga Canyon. But as artists they have found
common ground—a shared commitment to the offbeat and the
beautiful, to the slightly absurd and the slyly surreal, to
blurring the distinction between our inner lives of dreams and
imagination and our daily realities. Wronsky’s poems and
Gronk’s drawings are equally grounded in poetic imagery. Wronsky
mixes vernacular diction, or spoken language, with a more formal
style in a way that is entirely unique; Gronk’s signature style
alludes to both street art and classical art. Both are committed to
making memorable work that surprises and delights, that sharpens
and feeds our everyday lives as well as our deepest selves.
