Description
A book of fifty lucid, urgent poems from internationally acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author Margaret Atwood.
In The Door, Margaret Atwood investigates the mysterious writing of poetry itself as well as the passage of time and our shared sense of mortality. The Door ranges in tone from lyric to ironic to meditative to prophetic, and touches on subjects both personal and political. Brave and compassionate, this collection interrogates the certainties that we build our lives on and reminds us once again of Atwood's unique accomplishments as one of the finest and most celebrated writers of our time.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"There is a pleasing consistency in these poems, which are always written in fluent free verse, in robust, clear language. Atwood's wit and humor are pervasive, and few of the poems end without an ironic twang...Magnificent." -- Guardian
"The first book of poems in 12 years from the now world-famous Canadian author (The Handmaid's Tale) combines an older writer's reflections on aging with the dire warnings-political, environmental and moral-familiar from Atwood's recent fiction." -- Publishers Weekly
"A master poet...[Atwood's] poems are stirring in their clarity." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
