Description

With The Highwayman's Wife, Lynnell Edwards's fierce and brazen poems breathe new life into well-known myths and tales, giving a new, bold voice to characters such as Medusa and Helen of Troy. Equal parts graceful and audacious, Edwards's poems capture her genuine love of language while maintaining a charming style all their own.

Reviews

With this second book of poems, Lynnell Edwards establishes a strong reputation not only as a poet of gargantuan love for life and the world her persona's live and breath, but as a consummate master craftsperson . . . this is an exuberant, lust-for-life inundated collection that makes for an intoxicating tapestry of voices and landscapes . . . from California to Kentucky. Her poems show great maturity, elegance, and above all an incredible grace for language and gift of detail. I could not put this book down for fear of stopping her song . . . to read this book is to fall in love with the world all over again.
