Magnetic North（ISBN=） 英文原版

This stunning collection from the award-winning poet Linda
Gregerson examines the intersections of history, science, and
art.Touching on subjects as diverse as a breakthrough discovery in
cell biology and the films of Ingmar Bergman, the anatomy of a
possum and the Nazi occupation of Poland, Gregerson seeks to
distill “the shape of the question,” the tenuous connection between
knowing and suffering, between the brightness of the body and the
shadows of the mind. “Choose any angle you like,” she writes, “the
world is split in two.” Longtime readers of Gregerson’s poetry will
be fascinated by her departure from the supple tercets in which she
has worked for nearly twenty years: Magnetic North is a bold
anthology of formal experiments. It is also a heartening act of
sustained attention from one of our most mindful American
poets.

LINDA GREGERSON, a recent Guggenheim Fellow, teaches Renaissance
literature and creative writing at the University of Michigan. Her
poems have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, Poetry, Ploughshares,
the Yale Review, TriQuarterly, and other periodicals and in The
Best American Poetry 2001. Waterborne is her third collection.
