Late Work

by Rachel Blau DuPlessis

Poetry. Women's Studies. LATE WORK by Rachel Blau DuPlessis joins the recently published DAYS AND WORKS (2017)?and AROUND THE DAY IN 80 WORLDS (2018) as part of her new long poem, Traces, with Days , appearing in book-length episodes. A meditation on time, its vagaries, its intimate, affecting mixes of the political and the cosmological, LATE WORK shows DuPlessis's characteristic and irreverent shifts of tone, her richness of reference, and her energetic uses of genre and texture. This work epitomizes the generous pleasures of a singular poetic project.

My favourite kind of poetry. Far-reaching, roaming, and not "well-wrought."
