<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Throughout this book, a milestone in the poet's work and in the poetry of our time, Rich gathers images of our lives and focuses them blindingly in memory's "smoky mirror". As always, she maps out new territory, charting the landscapes of our lives amid the beauties and cruelties of a difficult world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this, her thirteenth book of verse, the author of The Dream of a Common Language and Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law writes of war, oppression, the future, death, mystery, love and the magic of poetry.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In "An Atlas of the Difficult World" Rich says: 'We write from the marrow of our bones.' So she has written since the 1960s, saying what we longed to say, but could not, or dared not. She is a crucial poet: each volume more courageous, newly elegant. In this book she makes me, even in these harsh times, brave, toughened by her boldness, her skill. --Carolyn G. Heilbrun"<br>
