Eros Muse Poems & Essays

Personifying the muse as her ultimate, possessive lover, Opel Palmer Adisa explores exactly what it means to be a writer. Her essays are more pragmatic in tone and approach, exploring the dual role of mother and writer, while her poems, more flirtatious, become a dance of language and process - a prance, a trot, a sweeping waltz in which the poet and language shimmy across the room. Not only is Eros Muse a series of essays, poems and journals from one of America's most talented and prolific poets - it is also a how-to manual for those who have to juggle the need to write with the tasks of everyday life.Adisa, Opal Palmer is the author of 'Eros Muse Poems & Essays', published 2006 under ISBN 9781592213986 and ISBN 1592213987.
