Book Synopsis A Silence Opens by : Amy Clampitt

Download or read book A Silence Opens written by Amy Clampitt and published by Knopf Publishing Group. This book was released on 1994 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poet of place - and displacement - Clampitt captures Umbria in a snapshot of a two-year-old girl, a "ringlet-aureoled refugee from a fresco," and evokes the childhood terrors residing in the darkness of an Iowa apple cellar. Her poems, also, in the words of Mona Van Duyn, "light up human figures, the human drama": Matoaka, whose legend (we know her as Pocahuntus) obscures even what she was called; George Fox, the imprisoned Quaker radical envisioning heavenly rain descending.
