Nice, clean, tight, unmarked copy. Signed by author on title pg. "Nora Mitchell's poems swing the soul in a sensory vortex whose syllables are berries on a forest floor of artifact and rubble yet whose vines draw struggle and image from a water purified by memory and the sheer ethics of sensation in a relentless bombardment." -- Olga Broumas.

About this title

Synopsis

Proofreading the Histories fuses personal and public life. These speakers may wish for privacy, but the public world, with all its ethical and emotional demands, always encroaches. In these poems the bedroom is wired straight to the street. The vocabulary is direct, accessible, at times surreal, musically and visually rich, and situated in real history and real politics, even though dream continually intrudes. The title poem was nominated for a 1994 Pushcart Prize.
