The essential P. K. Page

More about the book

P. K. Page needs no introduction. This is a poet who writes in many genres and on an infinite number of subjects. The source of her poetry is always love - whether in vivid portraits of her inner and outer landscapes; startling insights into the past, the present, the future; illumination of some tiny detail of ordinary life; or admonishments for our neglect of the earth and of each other. Page is an alchemist who turns language into pure gold, a magician who dazzles with sleight of mind. "The Essential P. K. Page" is perceptive, elegant, romantic (yet never sentimental), sometimes downright funny, wholly conscious.
