Tantalus In Love: Poems – Reinventing Myth in Lyrical

Tantalus In Love: Poems – Reinventing Myth in Lyrical Portraits of Jealousy, Yearning, and Fragile Renewal
- Used Book in Good Condition
Alan Shapiro is at his most passionate in this collection. A work full of life, jealousy, lust, and romantic abandon, Tantalus in Love begins with the sorrow of a disintegrating marriage, with its anger and suspicion, its hurt and rage, but moves on to celebrate the resilience of love after loss and the awakening glory of an amorous middle age. Reinventing myth and symbol in lyrical portraits of astounding resonance, Shapiro's poems yearn with hesitant love, heated at renewal, fragile but intensified by past experience of love's evanescence and uncertainty.
