Tesserae: Memories and Suppositions

by Denise Levertov

Tesserae: Memories and Suppositions Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Tesserae, the small individual pieces of glass or stone that make up a mosaic, is an apt title for this series of memoirs by Denise Levertov.

Rather than a completed autobiography, these collected memoirs are, for the author, fragments "composed from time to time between poems." Each of the twenty-seven pieces of Tesserae explores a memory vital to Levertov's life; each is complete in itself and set here chronologically. And, as in any good mosaic, every piece reflects light at different angles, giving this self-portrait its living complexity. Tesserae differs for the first time the unique memoirs or "a poet who may just be the finest writing in English today" (Kirkus Reviews).

Synopsis:

"A series of mini-memoirs bound together like a mosaic."--Publishers Weekly
