Description
Boston Poems by Sarah-Jane Burton conjures the city she came to know intimately while researching the lives and work of Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton. These poems are odes to Boston's grand public spaces, universities, writers, and pioneering hospitals.
With her expansive vision, Burton explores Boston, the self, family legacy, intergenerational trauma, and poetic confession. With freedoms curtailed, American democracy seems on the brink of collapse. Yet, Burton senses its spirit still stirring in the libraries and archives of her adopted city. — Heather Clark
