If Men, Then
Autor Eliza Griswolden Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2021
If Men, Then, Eliza Griswold's second poetry collection, charts a radical spiritual journey through catastrophe. Griswold's language is forthright and intimate as she steers between the chaos of a tumultuous inner world and an external landscape littered with SUVs, CBD oil, and go bags, talismans of our time. Alternately searing and hopeful, funny and fraught, the poems explore the world's fracturing through the collapse of the ego, embodied in a character named "I"-a soul attempting to wrestle with itself in the face of an unfolding tragedy.
