The Wilderness

New & Selected Poems, 1980-2016

Beschreibung

"The Wilderness, a compendious gathering of new and selected poems, makes clear what readers of hers over the years have increasingly come to feel-that Maurya Simon's is one of the strongest, most humane, imaginative, compassionate, and flat-out brilliant voices of her generation."-Richard Tillinghast

Autor

After watching a royal wedding on the streets of Paris at age 5, Maurya Simon scrawled her first poem. Decades later, she's still at it, with an award-winning oeuvre that muses on everything from the origin of parentheses (in her chapbook A Brief History of Punctuation) to what lies beyond death (answer: "A fever of unknowing, a match-head struck in the darkness of the void. A blue door without a handle that suddenly swings open"). Simon, a UC Riverside professor emerita who was raised in Western Europe and Hermosa Beach by an artist mother and musicologist father, has also created monoprints and composed an opera libretto. She's now working on a young adult detective novel about a diamond heist. Other new projects include a memoir about her dad, who taught at Cal Poly Pomona, and her 11th volume of poetry.
