At the Edge of the Body

A slim collection of poems by the celebrated American writer best known for *Fear of Flying*, this volume showcases her lyrical voice at once intimate, sensual, and intellectually alert. The poems explore the body as a site of memory, desire, motherhood, aging, and artistic creation, moving between erotic candor and reflective wit. With her characteristic blend of confessional intensity and feminist insight, she examines love, identity, and mortality in language that is both direct and musically charged. Readers drawn to contemporary poetry that engages boldly with women’s experience and the complexities of selfhood will find here a compact yet resonant work from a major late‑20th‑century literary figure.
