The King

Poems

19 June 2009

Rebecca Wolff (Author)

Description

A bold, lyrical invention by an award-winning poet whose “gift for the gorgeous” won praise from Robert Pinsky.

The King is a groundbreaking collection following a Self—a mother, lover, wife, thinker—in her fractured approach to the absolutes of pregnancy, postpartum depression, childrearing, belief, love, and epistemology. Here is a potent exploration of one woman’s coming together with the Other—her hard-won attachment to “the King.”

from “Deeply Psychological”

And then I surfaced

a whole matrix

or rubric

magical thinking

other kinds of thinking

but in layers, you understand,

with supremacy

a honeycomb.
