With her characteristic linguistic play and mixture of poetic registers and styles, Sharon Dolin takes her readers on an off-the-tracks emotional ride through the whirlwind that goes by the name of divorce. Hang on tight. Here poems are never merely confessional, but use formal aplomb to ride the white-heat rage, hurt, denial, reflection, regret, wistfulness, desire, and sexual passion as they go hurtling through the many stages of grief after the death of a relationship and the rebirth of a more vital self. Dolin tackles difficult subjects unflinchingly in her poems: such as betrayal and the shame of the one being betrayed, being a parent within a volatile breakup, as well as some startling poems on the reawakening of sexuality and an attention to the natural world and politics. In her poem that won a Pushcart Prize, she dons the mask of the Furies to confront her ex-husband and his lover. A journalist of her own heart, Sharon Dolin has written a brazen collection that seethes with the pressure of a story to tell: cathartic and thrilling in equal measure.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Whirlwind | Sharon Dolin | Paperback | 9780822962212 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1730632 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48167827636376,"sku":"1730632","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91jaw5GzDiL.jpg?v=1771955559","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/whirlwind","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
