From Publisher's Weekly:

In a collection as good as her Pulitzer Prize-winning The Wild Iris (1992), Glück gives the Persephone myth a staggering new meaning, casting that forlorn daughter as a soul caught in "an argument between the mother and the lover."

In 17 multi-part lyrics centered in her familiar quatrains, Glück traces Persephone's arc from innocence to, unhappily, experience: "This is the light of autumn," she writes in "October," "not the light that says/ I am reborn."

Through poems like "A Myth of Devotion" or "Persephone the Wanderer" Glück puts together a sequence that enacts the tradition of writing poetry about Greek myth, and defies it.
