How Else to Love the World

by
No Customer Reviews
Poetry. "Myrna Stone, in HOW ELSE TO LOVE THE WORLD, seems to ask what can redeem 'the addle and dross the hours devise' (her fine phrase from the title poem). One answer the book provides is 'this carnal life, ' whether manifested in human touch or on painted canvas ('stroke of flesh and brush'). The scenes depicted may be tawdry or elegant, voluptuous or corrupt, but Stone's writing is always crisp with precision and civility. Her forms are as diverse as the painters she calls up, from Bruegel to John Singer Sargent. Reading Stone, I think of John Donne. Like him, she delights in wit and desire and the sweet coupling of word and word"--Elton Glaser
