The Farmer's Daughter
Lynnell Edwards
(Author)
Description
As a writer of drama and short fiction, Edwards' first collection of poetry is influenced by the character sketches of her earlier prose works, while maintaining a strong sense of lyricism. Like her influences, Sharon Olds, Rainer Rilke, and Sylvia Plath, Edwards' poetry derives force from its candor and observational simplicity. A Kentucky native, Edwards continues in the tradition of great pastoral voices such as Robert Frost, drawing from his metaphorical, lyric and structural paradigms. Reading The Farmer's Daughter evokes fields of space, filled with light and soft shadows.Product Details
