Description:
"Whether paying tribute to literary icons such as Walt Whitman and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, or examining global and cultural degradation, Gail Wronsky proves to be a poet of sharp wit and endearing wonder. The crowning jewel of Dying for Beauty is "The Earth as Desdemona," a nearly book-length lyric that alternates between meditation and dramatization, between discourse and incantation as it elegizes the earth and celebrates human intimacy."--BOOK JACKET.
