摘要
Gathered from Margaret Atwood's work over the decade of 1965-1975, Selected Poems 1 is a lasting collection from one of our most celebrated contemporary writers.
Margaret Atwood's early poetry garnered widespread critical recognition and helped establish her reputation as one of the most provocative modern literary talents. Selected Poems 1 draws from six volumes published early in Atwood's career: The Circle Game (1966), which received the Governor General's Award; The Animals in That Country (1968); Procedures for Underground (1970); The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970); Power Politics (1971); and You Are Happy (1974). In these early poems, Atwood considers the space between the cruelties of civilization and the wonders of nature, the dissonance of Canadian identity, and the line where beauty becomes sinister. With poems that are "glistening with terse, bright images, untentative, closing like a vise" (New York Times), this is an essential collection to be treasured for years to come.

Atwood is considered by many to be among Canada's finest writers, and her new collection should support that opinion. Thematically complex, her poetry is difficult to categorize: when she writes about Canada, as in ``Four Small Elegies,'' she goes beyond a regional perspective; and though a feminist, she does not necessarily evoke pacifism. Violence, she discovers, is implicit in human nature, as shown in the snake poem ``She'': ``He's our idea of a bad time, we are his./ I say he out of habit. It could be she. '' Fatalistic and mordant, her diction may be post-modern but is neither experimental nor obscure. Ivan Arguelles, Univ. of California at Berkeley Lib. (c) Copyright 2010.
