AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Jennifer Maiden's Intimate Geography charts territory both personal and political, private and global. Just as ‘One needs the private voice / to balance a public terror,’ so the public focus sharpens the private perspective. Responding to international conflicts and crises, many of her poems probe moral dilemmas, confronting the existential, ethical problem of evil: why people commit inhuman acts. Watching the progress of a war, day by day, hour by hour, via satellite television, she experiences ‘that singular oddness of feeling’ of being always ‘at a tangent to it somehow albeit / with despair’s edgy wit’ and there is ‘too much passion in the evil’.'
