Publisher's Note
These beautifully crafted poems - by turns dark, playful, intensely moving, tender, and intimate - make up Margaret Atwood's most accomplished and versatile gathering to date, " setting foot on the middle ground / between body and word." Some draw on history, some on myth, both classical and popular. Others, more personal, concern themselves with love, with the fragility of the natural world, and with death, especially in the elegiac series of meditations on the death of a parent. But they also inhabit a contemporary landscape haunted by images of the past. Generous, searing, compassionate, and disturbing, this poetry rises out of human experience to seek a level between luminous memory and the realities of the everyday, between the capacity to inflict and the strength to forgive.

Industry reviews
"The vein of grieving that moves through this book like a dark tracer runs purest in a series of elgiac poems about the death of the poet's father."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Tom Clark (02/11/1996)

This book is Morning in the burned House-new poems by Margaret Atwood.  This is Margarets first book of poetry since the two volumes of her selected poems were published in 1987.  Her poetry is known and acclaimed around the world.  Her savage, back-talking monologues have become her trademark.  Her range is darkened and deepened with a series of elegiac poems about her dying father, and she, the speaker, the daughter, faces the inevitable fall into the future from which her wit and magic can't save her powerful poetic voice.  The book is used but in excellent condition.
