Reader, I - Corey Van Landingham

Descriere Reader, I - Corey Van Landingham

A brand new collection from multi-award winning poet Corey Van Landingham. \nReader, I draws its title from the conclusion to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre: Reader, I married him. Spanning the first years of a marriage, the speaker in Reader, I both courts and eschews nuptial myths, as its speaker--tender and callous, skeptical and hopeful, daughter and lover--finds a role for herself in marriage, in history, in something beyond the self. While these poems burn with a Plathian fire, they also address and invite in a reader who is, as in Jane Eyre, a confidant. Steeped in a world of husbands and fathers, patriarchal nations and power structures, Reader, I traverses bowling alleys and hospital rooms, ancient Troy and public swimming pools, to envision domestic life as a metaphor for civic life, and vice versa. \n\n
