Om denne e-bog
The award-winning author of Evening “reveals an ear for cadence and rhyme [and] her descriptive powers are fully realized” (Miami Herald) in this stunning collection of poems.
“Exquisite . . . Minot negotiates a torturous course over the unsettled waters of frayed family ties, substance-free love, and the occasional adulterous affair.”—The Christian Science Monitor
In Poems 4 A.M., we come to know a different side of acclaimed novelist Susan Minot. We find her awake in the middle of the night, contemplating love and heartbreak in all their exhilarating and anguished specifics. With astonishing openness, in language both passionate and enchanting, she offers us an intimate map of a troubled and far-flung heart: “Can you believe I thought that?” she asks, “That we would always go/roaming brave and dangerous/on wild unlit roads?”
At once witty and tender, with memorable partings from lovers in New York, London, Rome and beyond, these poems capture a restless movement through loves and locales, and charm us at every turn with their forthrightness.
