<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Reflections on divorce, single-parenthood, and searching for love in middle age in the cold and snowy heart of Bennington, Vermont.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Diamonds</i> presents a woman in midlife on the edge. In hilarious and heartbreaking poems, Camille Guthrie writes about the trials and surprises of divorce, parenting, country life--and the difficulties and delights of being alone, looking at art, and falling in love.</b> <p>Witty resilience abounds in these irreverent poems about grief and desire--in which the poet meditates upon gender roles, history, pop culture, and academia. Guthrie subverts and teases traditional forms in an elegy about Sylvia Plath's prom dress, a dating profile for Hieronymus Bosch, a sestina about beauty and power--with radical dramatic monologues in the voices of Madame du Barry, a Pict Woman, and more. Unlike Virgil, who refuses to guide this poet through her journey at midlife, Guthrie leads readers by the hand into a provoking, affecting journey of a break-up and a reconciliation with love.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Camille Guthrie is the author of three books of poetry: <i>Articulated Lair: Poems for Louise Bourgeois</i> (Subpress, 2013), <i>In Captivity</i> (Subpress, 2006), and <i>The Master Thief</i> (Subpress, 2000).
