Drawing inspiration from James Schuyler's looping conversations and Chelsey Minnis's cascading forms, these poems traverse the interlaced landscapes of motherhood, marriage, wealth, and the unspoken contracts of domestic life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Emily Bludworth de Barrios folds personal experience into far-ranging meditations on beauty, nostalgia, power, and privilege, following in the footsteps of Gertude Stein's fluid turns in \u003ci\u003eLifting Belly\u003c\/i\u003e and Anne Carson's woven observations in \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Essay\u003c\/i\u003e. The poems coil back on themselves, creating recursive strands that offer readers both intimacy and critical distance. As much a contemplation of art as it is of womanhood, \u003ci\u003eRich Wife\u003c\/i\u003e engages deeply with art history and aesthetics and examines the domestic as an artistic canvas in itself, where every object and relationship becomes a charged symbol. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmily Bludworth de Barrios's previous books include \u003ci\u003eShopping, or The End of Time\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry.
