This book considers some of Redgrove's wildest and most passionate works, creating a 'flood' of poetry. Philip Hobsbaum called Redgrove 'the great poet of our time', while Angela Carter said: 'Redgrove's language can light up a page.' Redgrove ranks alongside Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. He is in every way a major poet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeremy Robinson's essay analyzes all of Redgrove's poetic work, including his use of sex magic, natural science, menstrual energy, psychology, myth, alchemy and feminism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition has been completely rewritten.

British Poets Series. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Redgrove wrote to Jeremy Robinson about this book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSex-Magic-Poetry-Cornwall is a very rich essay... It is a very good piece... Your essay has an infectious enthusiasm, which I'm grateful for, and I especially like the places where you actually grapple with the language of my poems, which is like writing them again. It is a very good piece, which carries the reader with it... Your own approach is irreplaceable because it seems to me founded on your own individuality and personal experience of my poems - which is vastly gratifying... in the majority it is vastly stimulating and insightful. Always, I am grateful to you for your trouble, and your deep response to what I have written. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI like very much the way you have resurrected poems I had forgotten worked, like the clothes magic-wet and the alchemical honeymoon - I thought they didn't work because nobody had put them in context before of the elemental life that nudges into them always - and I like the cragginess of the prose poems in contrast. Your choice of quotations is excellent throughout, and this is the real point - plus enthusiasm.. it is like a laser gas into which you pump your enthusiastic energy, there is a sudden shift of atomic orbits, and the texts shine with their own weird and natural light! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crescent Moon Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043488284912,"sku":"9781861712950","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781861712950_p0.jpg?v=1763600828","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781861712950","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
