I'm Working Here
Autor Anna Mendelssohn Editat de Sara Crangleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2020
Labelled surrealist and ludic, Mendelssohn's poems draw thematically and stylistically on an expansive lineage that encompasses an international array of post-1850 avant-garde figures such as Charles Baudelaire, Gertrude Stein, Anna Ahkmatova, N zim Hikmet, Federico Garc a Lorca, and Tom Raworth. Closely attuned to the fraught legacy of the female vanguard writer, as well as to disparities of class and race, her poems are impassioned, acute, probing, allusive, and unparalleled. Part aesthetic treatise ("a poem is not going to give precise directions"); part antipolitical manifesto ("the war is too close / for revolution to be understood"); part lament ("softly the sound of woe / gallops"); part celebration of the possibilities of poetic noise and possibility, replete with "scoopydoo sounds", "night s of] pouring gold", and "high walk s] into fantasy", Mendelssohn's writing resolutely resists containment or category.
This scholarly edition is the first replete collection of the poems Anna Mendelssohn published or prepared for circulation in her lifetime, often writing under the name Grace Lake.

Descriere
Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009) authored poetry, fiction, drama, and life writing; she was also a visual artist, musician, and translator. From the early 1980s, Mendelssohn composed 19 poetry collections and published in journals receptive to her experimental, charged lyrics, and retained a marginal, if constant, presence in the poetry community.
