Produktinformationen "A Kind Husband"
"A Kind Husband" is the staunch and mysterious title of one of the poems in this new collection by Ida Affleck Graves. Born in India in 1902, her work was first published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf in 1929. Her long poem "Epithalamium," accompanied by a wood engraving by her husband Blair Hughes-Stanton, won the top literary award at the Venice Biennale in 1937. At ninety-two years of age, Graves has continued to write regularly over the years. With a distinct character and style she conveys with a wonderful consistency the freshness of her varied observations, such as childhood, animals, and vegetables. Entertaining and irreverent, this collection displays a great alertness of language and cadence, often humorous, and sometimes profoundly sad.
