These are the voices of the martyred, the imprisoned, the exiled, the silenced, the forgotten, and as they shift from east-ern Europe to Cambodia to New Orleans, it becomes agonizingly clear that our world with its ritualized misogyny is a dangerous place for women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Patty Hearst: A Love Poem,\" addressed to the sister who wasn't kidnapped, compares the inexorable winnowing away of personality through terror, brutality, and violation with its counterpart-the charade of \"normal\" family life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a vivid lexicon of religious imagery--guilt, punishment, baptism, crucifixion, and, of course, resurrection--Cooley unflinchingly casts in lines of crystalline limpidity the voices of all women who through violence or fear were denied childhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver all of them floats the reassuring specter of Rose, a Hungarian matriarch, voice of guidance, of communal wisdom, of warning. \u003ci\u003eResurrection\u003c\/i\u003e is an eloquent rendering of extreme psychological states--a disturbing invocation of rage, tenderness, solidarity, and ultimately of hope.","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614802460823,"sku":"9780807120590","price":2085.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780807120590.webp?v=1775096499","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/resurrection-poems-9780807120590","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
