Captivity (Pitt Poetry Series)
De (autor) Toi Derricotteen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 Dec 1989
What
are
the
forces
that
cause
us
to
strike
out
and
harm
each
other?
Captivity
explores
the
way
in
which
the
individual
is
held
hostage
by
society;
how
the
forces
of
racism,
sexism,
and
classism
frequently
express
themselves
as
violence
within
the
family.
The
book
also
explores
a
deeper
captivity,
like
the
Jews
in
Egypt
yearning
for
the
Promised
Land,
the
soul
trapped
in
exile
from
God.

Recenzii
“There
are
poems
that
stick
with
you
like
a
song
that
won’t
stop
repeating
itself
in
your
brain,
poems
whose
cadences
burrow
into
your
bloodstream,
orchestrating
your
breathing
long
before
their
sense
attaches
its
hooks
to
your
heart.
Even
after
you
think
you’ve
got
a
handle
on
a
particular
passage--how
that
imagery
works
to
support
the
narrative,
the
interlocking
patterns
of
the
observed
adn
the
unsaid--something
elusive
keeps
sending
you
back
to
the
page;
and
with
each
new
reading,
another
layer
of
mystery
will
gently
exhale
and
open
up.
Much
like
a
favorite
grandparent’s
parable-disguised-as-an-anecdote,
the
poem
will
unfoldwhen
you
need
it
but
least
expect
it,
illuminating
its
revelations
as
you
grow
into
the
lessons
life
has
to
offer.”

“Captivity
is
a
work
of
deep
power
and
music.
In
the
title
poem,
the
speaker’s
uncle
displays
animal
pelts,
blowing
on
the
fur
to
show
us
its
‘shining
underlife.’
Toi
Derricotte’s
poems
show
us
our
underlife,
tender
and
dreadful.
And
they
are
vibrant
poems,
poems
in
the
voice
of
the
living
creature,
the
one
who
escaped—and
paused,
and
turned
back,
and
saw,
and
cried
out.
This
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
and
necessary
voices
in
American
poetry
today.”
—Sharon Olds

“Toi
Derricotte
has
lifted
herself,
and
so
she
is
able
to
transform
experience
into
significant
thought.”
