With her characteristic linguistic play and mixture of poetic registers and styles, Sharon Dolin takes her readers on an off-the-tracks emotional ride through the whirlwind that goes by the name of divorce. Hang on tight. Here poems are never merely confessional, but use formal aplomb to ride the white-heat rage, hurt, denial, reflection, regret, wistfulness, desire, and sexual passion as they go hurtling through the many stages of grief after the death of a relationship and the rebirth of a more vital self. Dolin tackles difficult subjects unflinchingly in her poems: such as betrayal and the shame of the one being betrayed, being a parent within a volatile breakup, as well as some startling poems on the reawakening of sexuality and an attention to the natural world and politics. In her poem that won a Pushcart Prize, she dons the mask of the Furies to confront her ex-husband and his lover. A journalist of her own heart, Sharon Dolin has written a brazen collection that seethes with the pressure of a story to tell: cathartic and thrilling in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSharon Dolin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven books of poetry, most recently \u003ci\u003eManual for Living\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Whirlwind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBurn and Dodge\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of the AWP Donald Hall Prize in Poetry.
