The Book of Jane: Iowa Poetry Prize

Autor Jennifer Habel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2020
The Book of Jane is a perceptive, tenacious investigation of gender, authority, and art. Jennifer Habel draws a contrast between the archetype of the lone male genius and the circumscribed, relational lives of women. Habel points repeatedly to discrepancies of scale: the grand arenas of Balanchine, Einstein, and Matisse are set against the female miniature—the dancer’s stockings, the anonymous needlepoint, the diary entry, the inventory of a purse.

Extras

From “A Guide to Jane’s Office”:

That space heater is probably dangerous.
That’s from the gift shop at the Matisse Chapel.
This coaster hides a water ring.
Here is the bulletin board, empty as a well.
That’s trash.
That’s recycling.
This stuff needs to be shredded.
That under there is lost.
This is not quite what she expected, though it’s possible she
    never expected.
That sheet of paper says wine
                                              compost
                                             Dr. Wu?
 
Here is the thing about female sculptors in the Weimar Republic:
    their work was celebrated only if it was small.
There is the squirrel staring in from the box gutter.
There is a long thin crack in the wall.
That’s nothing.
That’s private.
That’s due.
