Saskia Hamilton

These spare, evocative poems register things at the edge of our attention that confound our systems of belief. In Divide These, Saskia Hamilton brings delicate observation together with riveting assertion to make an original, unsettling music.

"The letters of Elizabeth Hardwick and Robert Lowell offer an unprecedented portrait of two of the biggest names in twentieth-century literature"--

"'Corridor' is a study of motion and time. Its glanced landscapes, its lives seen in passing, render the immeasurable in broken narratives. Saskia Hamilton's poems travel quickly with unexpected distances within their reach. They are dauntless and alert in their apprehension of the natural kingdom at the frontier of so many unnatural ones. They inhabit the realm of contemplation, which, for Hamilton, is charged with eros."--Back cover.
