On a Grey Thread - Elsa Gidlow - Bog

Bag om On a Grey Thread

LARGE PRINT EDITION. On a Grey Thread is the groundbreaking poetry collection of Elsa Gidlow; the first in North American history to openly express lesbian desire. Both personal and political, Gidlow's poems express the poet's complex feelings as a young woman whose political ideology and sexual identity ran counter to the traditional values of her time. Opening her collection with "The Grey Thread"; Gidlow expresses herself with ornamental imagery, decorating her drab existence with the colorful beads of her personal identity. Employing the double meaning of "gay," offering a brief erotic "moan"; on the precipice of enjambment, Gidlow stretches her stanza to its sinful conclusion, recalling Eve's temptation in the Garden of Eden. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elsa Gidlow's On a Grey Thread is a classic work of lesbian literature reimagined for modern readers.
