So, too, is her poetry. Though renowned—and sometimes vilified—for her unabashedly sensual fiction, the author considers herself a poet first and foremost. “It was my poetry,” Jong writes, “that kept me sane, that kept me whole, that kept me alive.”\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecoming Light\u003c\/i\u003e contains poems personally selected by Jong from her complete oeuvre of acclaimed published works—poems of love, sex, witches, gods, and demons; word-songs brimming with wit, heart, bitterness, sorrow, and truth. From the earliest poetic musings of a brilliant young artist first trying out her wings to later works born of experience and maturity, unpublished before appearing in this collection, Jong’s pure artistry shines like a beacon as she writes, fearlessly and passionately, about being a woman, about being alive.\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161174393072,"sku":"9781480438897","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480438897_p0.jpg?v=1763619428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480438897","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
