Description
Amy Lowell's love poems to Ada Dwyer Russell are a remarkable and barely encoded expression of lesbian desire. This collection brings together three voices: Lowell's own poems, a scholarly essay by Lillian Faderman that analyzes these poems in relation to Lowell's life, and a 27-sonnet sequence by Mary Meriam which draws from the first two parts. The result is a powerful and erotic tribute to a great love. Like many pioneering lesbian-feminist partnerships, Lowell and Russell had a creative partnership that made an indelible mark on literary history. This book offers a unique reanimation of their story, with gems of poetry and insight waiting to be discovered. With its combination of poetry, scholarship, and imaginative storytelling, Lady of the Moon is a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in lesbian literature and history.
