Description
Annie Finch's debut book of poetry, Eve, is a classic collection of passionate, vibrant poems by a poet who has come to be widely known for her musical ear and painstaking craft. Organized around the themes of nine goddesses from cultures worldwide, the book deals with coming of age, nature, love, and female-centered spirituality in free verse and a wide range of expertly-handled forms and meters. This book's gems include much-reprinted sonnet "Still Life," the feminist villanelle "Pearl," the haunting "Lucid Waking," "Walk With Me," "Gulf War and Child," and Finch's reply to Marvell's "Coy Mistress."
