Pictures of the Floating World

Description

Asian-inspired poems may give this collection its title, but the real gems are a series of unmistakably erotic lesbian love poems, rare for the era in which they were published. After nearly a century of critical neglect, Amy Lowell (1874 – 1925) has been rediscovered and praised by modern readers for her sensitive and compelling poetry. She was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for What’s O’Clock in 1926.
