After I Was Dead

Poetry

Laura Mullen

Authors: Laura Mullen
Print type: BOOK

Description:

The poems of After I Was Dead develop harmonically and leap from one register, one voice, one tone to another in deft juxtapositions and are honed by a fine intelligence into elegant, sometimes funny art. Through her rediscovery of the freedom Emily Dickinson located in being "dead" (in writing from over the border of an already recognized erasure), Mullen increases the territory of the contemporary poem.
