Over the course of the poems, the poet\/narrator poses variously as Charon, Virgil, and Dante -- visitor to the region where the dead and tormented lament. The quest here, too, is for a transformative love. In Domina's world, 'Only the woman with the oars \/ is real and she is the only one \/ who recognizes the other figures \/ and sees through them;' thus only she is capable of re-imagining herself -- the others are all sentenced to eternal grief. These poems, mythic in their reach, are appropriately characterized by a shadowy sense of mystery and a persuasive tone of objectivity. The one shortcoming is an over-reliance on the word \"grief,\" as if any single word can encompass all life's losses and disappointments.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e --\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Review \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Four Way Books","offers":[{"title":"Corporal Works | Lynn Domina | Paperback | 9781884800030 | Used: Good | Poetry 1680043","offer_id":48711833157784,"sku":"1680043","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41zuw3f2xXL.jpg?v=1773785866","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/corporal-works","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
