Robin Becker - All-American Girl

Hide product details

Post to Web

'All-American Girl is a lively mix of poems that reflect Robin Becker's sexual and social identity in startling and often magically apt metaphors. The Philadelphia of her girlhood, her ancestral links to the shtetls of Eastern Europe, the mesas of New Mexico, her loved landscape, Italy... meet and meld in surprising, satisfying juxtapositions. This is Robing Becker's best work to date.' As said by Maxine Kumin.

<b>Townsend, Alison, <i>Women's Review of Books</i>:</b> "...Robin Becker draws a spare, unsentimental portrait of a lesbian 'in the middle of her life'....[W]hether she is reflecting on her sexual and social identity, or on the 1950s Philadelphia of her girlfriend, on family links to the Eastern Europe shtetls, or on New Mexico mesas, Wyoming, Italy, and France, or finding ways to name her own loneliness, the quest Becker describes is one of endless self-transformation and surrender....It is Becker's very undefendedness that makes this collection so strong and appealing."
