Dying for Beauty

"Whether paying tribute to literary icons such as Walt Whitman and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, or examining global and cultural degradation, Gail Wronsky proves to be a poet of sharp wit and endearing wonder. The crowning jewel of Dying for Beauty is "The Earth as Desdemona," a nearly book-length lyric that alternates between meditation and dramatization, between discourse and incantation as it elegizes the earth and celebrates human intimacy."--BOOK JACKET.
