Come the Sweet by and by (Juniper Prize for Poetry) - Tapa blanda

Eleanor Lerman has already established herself as a highly regarded young poet. Commenting on her first book of poems, Armed Love, which was a 1973 National Book Award nominee, reviewers noted: "The poems are clear in wildness, disturbing, brilliantly lighted, often felt as wholes"--The Sewanee Review. ..". there is a weird, intense imagination at work in Lerman's poems, and a genuine energy of expression. Like Nicanor Parra's 'anti-poetry, ' her diction opposes the heightened expression of things to the resistance of ordinary language; the result is a validation of the dream, the world in which the unconscious operates, over the intransigent nature of reality"--The Boston Phoenix.
