Beyond Their Dreams
(Mildred Nash is a poet who has never paid attention to 't...)
Mildred Nash is a poet who has never paid attention to 'trends' in the world of poetry. Oh, she has always known what others were doing, with that psychic sense all poets have, but she has continued to write from her own center -- sonnets, terza rima, villanelles -- all more formal and elegant than the current schools were favoring, all now coming into their own in what is known as the 'new' formalism. We haven't truly perceived what is before us until Mildred Nash invites us to see what she has seen with her observant eye and makes for us with 'the ease of hard-won mastery' her own 'music, the magic consequence of stress/surmounted, fused, and formed to melody.' -from the Introduction by Phyllis Janowitz.
