Perpetua

Olga Broumas

In Perpetua, well-known feminist and former Yale Younger Poet Olga Broumas returns to the more direct voice of her award-winning Beginning with O. She returns, too, to a lyric poetics made more vivid by her years of work as a massage therapist, to a poetry of the body. Her poems extend a broad social empathy where joy and sadness coexist in perfect harmony.
