Zarin, a poet in the line of Elizabeth Bishop, allows the reader to experience human truths through a poem's shape and music, bodied forth through intimate images--the turn in the stair, a snow globe, naked birch branches, a vase of flowers--and a propulsive syntax. From the clarity of childhood memory to the maze of marriage and divorce, from her own consciousness--shaping landscapes of New York, Cape Cod, and Rome, to the shifting tides of history and the troubled conscience of a nation, her subject matter encompasses all of a woman's life, with passion--its risks, satisfactions, and shattering immediacy--her first and truest subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCYNTHIA ZARIN was born in New York City and educated at Harvard and Columbia.
