Drive

De: Elaine Sexton

Narrado por: Elaine Sexton

Poems exploring our most fragile points of connection to lovers and family, to the living and the dead, and to oneself, one's own life's work—with the care and wisdom of one who knows these roads.

'Silently / pulling for itself, / the will wants the body to // give it what it wants,' Sexton writes in 'Between the Car and the Sea,' at once a description of a carís body propelling her onward, and of the poet herself, the one behind the wheel of this masterful fourth collection. In an extraordinary act of volition, the author does not stop at the trope of ambition, but powers instead toward the urgent concerns of the will, and intention.
