Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:The dynamics of race, family, motherhood, career, sex and ultimately, transformation are explored in this debut collection. Underlife represents the wilderness of thought and emotion hidden away from the external world. Through O'Neil's narratives we see our lives as if for the first time. Description:In her debut collection of poems, Underlife, January Gill O’Neil probes what she calls the “strange and beautiful underlife, those emotional truths that reside beneath the respectable patina of our public lives. Employing a visceral honesty and a tangible, feverish idiom, O’Neil excavates her childhood and delves into adult experiences as woman, wife, and mother, exploring where she has come from and where she has landed. "With frank and plainspoken language, the poet transforms experience into a narrative of becoming, driven by the harsh resolve to talk back, even if it's nothing more than this, romp through a few stanzas,'" observes Natasha Trethewey in the foreword to Underlife. About the AuthorJanuary Gill O’Neil is a senior writer/editor at Babson College. Her poetry and articles have appeared in The MOM Egg, Crab Creek Review, Crab Orchard Review, Literary Mama, Field, Callaloo, Seattle Review, Stuff Magazine, canwehaveourballback.com, Poetry Thursday, and Cave Canem anthologies II and IV, among others. In December 2009, January was awarded a Barbara Deming Memorial Fund Artist Grant. She is a fellow with Cave Canem poets, runs the blog, Poet Mom (http://poetmom.blogspot.com), and is cofounder and co-host of New and Emerging Writers Series (NEWS), a blossoming literary series in Arlington, MA.
