Love and Its Derangements

Here is an exciting new collection of poems by one of America's most brilliant and versatile writers. In this volume Joyce Carol Oates reveals the disorder, confusion, and insanity of love. Love is an experience of both elevation and degradation as seen from a distinctly feminine and personal point of view. A highly successful novelist and short story writer, Miss Oates brings to her poetry the same insight that makes her prose so compelling.
