Download or read book Harriet Rubin s Mother s Wooden Hand written by Susan Hahn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-06-18 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redolent of Chicago's ethnic culture, Susan Hahn's intensely personal lyrics emerge from the world of an extended Jewish family and its neighbors. The voices of these immigrants are imbued with the profound effects and memories of the journey "From a patrolled town in the Ukraine/to Baltimore on a boat, then a train to Chicago." Hahn's poetry is about love and the lack of love, about rejection, and about other forces—generational, political, social, and sexual—that overwhelm individuals and cause them to limit themselves both physically and psychologically.

Download or read book Incontinence written by Susan Hahn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charged with sensuality, ferocity, and despair, this sequence of poems follows the progress of a central character's passionate romance. Hahn's fevered book of human emotions becomes a powerful rumination on love, aging, and mutability in general. "Stitching together tropes about writing and technique, as well as hunting and the loss of sexual innocence, [Hahn] marks and exploits the body with surgical precision in order to explore the peripheries of the personal lyric. She wants to take poetry to the most tangible and sensual extremes. It's often uncomfortable, and yet as often results in a poetry of generous, piercing honesty, as if (to rewrite Bradford) it's by the body we are 'plainly told.'"—David Baker, Poetry "Incontinence has an enormous, almost epic sweep."—Chicago Sun-Times

Download or read book Losing Beck written by Susan Hahn and published by Red Hen Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young poet’s relationship with a predatory professor is explored through a diary, a play, and a novella dealing with themes of grief, trauma, and desire. Jennie Silver has been seduced, abused, and abandoned by Benedict Eck, a Midwestern literature professor known for being influenced by Hungarian émigré novelist Avigdor Element, and a notorious womanizer known for preying on vulnerable graduate students. In the process, Jennie keeps a diary and writes a play and a novella in her attempt to control her desperate, high-pitched emotions focused on a man she is uncontrollably drawn to and at the same time finds repugnant—a man who is one of the keepers and part of the legacy of Element’s bad behavior. Spanning a hundred years of history from when Nijinsky danced “The Afternoon of the Faun” in Paris in 1912, through World Wars I and II, to very close to the present, Losing Beck is not only a portrait of one woman’s relationship with one man, but an exploration of obsession, grief, desire, and the effects of historical trauma. “This triptych of narratives contains a plenitude of characters driven by overpowering emotions and dark motives . . . I was especially fascinated by the meticulous scrutiny of family relations, especially mother-daughter attachments, often dramatized against a backdrop of twentieth-century Jewish history.” —Laurence Goldstein, author of The American Poet at the Movies: A Critical History
