Interlunar by Margaret Atwood
This new collection from award-winning poet and novelist, Margaret Atwood, is born of a vision that is hard, clear and chilling. It manifests the magnified clarity with which she evokes the natural world, her sharp observance of the fear, anger and sadness between the sexes, and a growing awareness of mortality. From the first poem to the last, Atwood insists that 'we must learn to see in darkness.' Preoccupied with the passage of time her work confronts loss, pain and death with compelling tenderness and in the final section offers guidance to the uninitiated. Trust me /This darkness / is a place you can enter and be / as safe in as you are anywhere; / you can put one foot in front of the other / and believe the sides of your eyes. Each poem is beautifully crafted displaying an intense imagination, and presenting the human condition without the leap of faith. Interlunar is intimate, sorrowful and ultimately resilient.
Magrgaret Atwood is a writer of worldwide reputation; described by Philip Howard in The Times as 'a wordchild with the gift of tongues, puns, echoes and symbols.' Her most recent collection of stories is Bluebeard's Egg, and her novel, The Handmaid's Tale, was shortlisted for the 1986 Booker Prize.
