Blue Yodel - Paperback

by Eleanor Stanford (Author)

A new poetry collection from Eleanor Stanford that is musical, sexy, and darkly funny.

These poems take the reader from Mexico City to West Philadelphia to Karachi. The works wade into the difficult joys of mothering, self-exploration, and romantic entanglement in midlife. Throughout, Eleanor Stanford embraces the mysticism of Hildegard of Bingen, the abjection of Tammy Wynette, and the wry self-appraisal of Sylvia Plath, fashioning it all into something entirely its own.
