That Other Life - Paperback
by Joyce Sutphen (Author)
Poems that deftly draw on the sonnet form to follow the speaker's romantic life.
That Other Life is a narrative about how relationships fail and succeed--or rather, about how the narrator fares on the changeable course of love and domestic commerce. Most of the poems in Joyce Sutphen's twelfth book are sonnets, and each sonnet provides a glimpse of a swiftly moving life. In the same carefully crafted language as she uses to describe an oat binder, Sutphen surveys marriage and love.Joyce Sutphen is the author of ten previous books of poetry, including Straight Out of View, Naming the Stars, and Carrying Water to the Field: New and Selected Poems. She is professor emerita at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, where she taught literature and creative writing. She served as Poet Laureate of Minnesota from 2011-2021.
