Another Woman

By Hannah Bonner

Book Overview

In the tradition of confessional and lyrical poets like Cynthia Cruz, Linda Gregg, Sylvia Plath, and Franz Wright, Another Woman explores female sexuality, anguish, and abjection within the decline of a romantic relationship as well as through biblical, mythical, or pop cultural figures such as Delilah, Aphrodite, or Karen Carpenter. Through compressed prose and a fierce attentiveness to the natural landscape, Another Woman depicts the atomization of heartbreak with, what Dwight Garner writes of Frank Stanford's poetry, a "dirt-flecked" urgency. The collection culminates in new gradations and understandings of what it means to be a woman-and the multiplicity of selves that live within one body.
