Lucie Brock-Broido’s poetry conjures what is half-known, at the limits of experience, in language fierce with a living glitter. The familiar world becomes richly disquieting, edged with danger: mute conjoined twins creating a violent secret world; Emily Dickinson’s enigmatic letters to her‘Master’; a self-portrait of the poet ‘with Her Hair on Fire’.
Soul Keeping Company introduces Brock-Broido’s poetry to British readers with generous selections from her three acclaimed collections: A Hunger, The Master Letters and Trouble in Mind.
Cover Painting: William Matthew Prior, Boy with Toy Horse and Wagon, c. 1845. Gift of Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch. Image courtesy of the Board of Trustees, National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
