What is Blue Dusk : New & Selected Poems, 1951-2001 about?

Contradiction and ambiguity are essential to the poetry of Madeline DeFrees. Her work is concentrated, multi-layered, spliced with humor and characterized by a passionate interest in every aspect of words: their literal and figurative meanings and associations; their histories, usage, disappearances, and resurrections. In her recent poems she approaches complex subjects with a new clarity, the dividend of a long investment in the art of writing. Just as her poetry demands distance from personal biography and revelation, it is also deeply affected by her own life story, most profoundly.;Title Page; Not to the Reader; New Poems; Going Back to the Convent; Shackleton; On Western Avenue behind a Horse-and-Buggy; Through a Silver Screen; Clematis montana; Visiting Sunday: Convent Novitiate; Almanac; Elegy for Arnold; The Paradise Tree; Surgery Waiting; Still Life; Balancing Acts; Memory Tract; Metempsychosis; Woman Locked in a Memorial Museum ; To Marilyn Monroe Whose Favorite ColorWas White; Scarecrow Gardens; Peregrine Falcons in the Bank Tower; Widows Riding Amtrak; Sapphires in the Mud; Hanging the Blue Nuns; Double Dutch; Vermeer's A Woman Holding a Balance.
