A courageous and enthralling collection of poems by Fear of Flying author Erica Jong celebrating life, art, sex, and womanhood seven lives,then webecome light . . . Erica Jong�s novels are fearless and passionate. So, too, is her poetry. Though renowned�and sometimes vilified�for her unabashedly sensual fiction, the author considers herself a poet first and foremost. �It was my poetry,� Jong writes, �that kept me sane, that kept me whole, that kept me alive.� Becoming Light contains poems personally selected by Jong from her complete oeuvre of acclaimed published works�poems of love, sex, witches, gods, and demons; word-songs brimming with wit, heart, bitterness, sorrow, and truth. From the earliest poetic musings of a brilliant young artist first trying out her wings to later works born of experience and maturity, unpublished before appearing in this collection, Jong�s pure artistry shines like a beacon as she writes, fearlessly and passionately, about being a woman, about being alive. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author�s personal collection. (less)
