Publisher Description

Selected Poems 2 is an essential collection from the critically acclaimed, bestselling author Margaret Atwood, tracing her work from 1976-1986.

Celebrated as a major novelist throughout the English-speaking world, Margaret Atwood is also one of our most significant contemporary poets.

Selected Poems 2 presents her work in the decade following 1976—important years of change and new themes in her poetry.

It includes selections from Two-Headed Poems (1978), True Stories (1981), Interlunar (1984), and prose poems from Murder in the Dark (1983).

As in her fiction, Atwood ruminates on oppression and injustice and on the genders and their discontents, but beyond these surface dissonances we hear the music of compassion and fellowship and love.

Selected Poems 2 contains some of Atwood’s most extraordinary writing and is sure to captivate readers for years to come.
