| Selected poems by a feminist author reexamine love, death, power, lesbianism, and the role of women in society\[W9]\Judy Grahn (b. 1940) is a love poet too, although her poetry is not particularly erotic. The Work of a Common Woman is sensual, but celebrates sweat and hard work rather than sexual play. Grahn is a working-class poet, but she is neither a socialist-realist nor a slumming idealist. Commonness to her is not a new kind of exclusivity, for her common woman is Everywoman, that which is ordinary and common and binds women together. She is a love poet in the traditions of Whitman, Ginsberg, cummings, with more than a little bit of Gertrude Stein. Grahn borrows many of their repetitive, incantatory techniques, but transmutes them to celebrate the energy common to women in their diverse work. | |
