 | | Tourist in Hell (Phoenix Poets) by Eleanor Wilner Paperback, 120 Pages, Published 2010 by University Of Chicago Press ISBN-13: 978-0-226-90032-2, ISBN: 0-226-90032-0 "Eleanor Wilner’s poems attempt to absorb the shock of the wars and atrocities of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

The Rag-Picker's Guide to Poetry permits an inside view of how poets outwit internal censors and habits of thought, showing how the meticulous and the spontaneou ..." |

Some speeches, especially Andromache's opening fifty-five-line elegy, went through more than thirty versions. As each failed version narrowed down the list of available experiments, or liberties with Euripides' text, I got glimpses of what it was exactly that I was listening for in my ear and lo ..." |

As the old gods are reabsorbed into the modern world, Wilner discovers new insights into culture and the human psyche.“I have alway ..." |
