Bøger af Elizabeth Arnold

"Elizabeth Arnold's poems are structures for our times: built to move and to hold. Within them surge the elemental forces, the earth's deep patterns and the human-driven, breakneck hurts--and the poet's own migratory mind, coming honestly to terms with her restless and embattled life. In WAVE HOUSE, her sixth book, she emerges as one of our great American contemporaries. Niedecker, Oppen, and Pound are Arnold's forebears, though she sloughs away nativist habits, 'unhindered by belief, / utterly available.' If, within the far-flung geographies visited by her poems, you are often reminded of her birth-state, Florida, that is not because her goal is return. Elegy belongs to the Wanderer's exile, as spoken in her thrilling translation of the Anglo-Saxon poem. Arnold's aim is to be here: 'in the open-air room / at the top of the house // where I've been working, ' to 'see more sharply' into the movements of species beside her. So she brings that life to the reader, thriving in the vital moment of each poem."--Jenny MuellerPoetry. Environmental Studies.

Leave your family peace of mind with this new approach to wills and estates Whenever Elizabeth Arnold tells people her specialty, they usually share their own family dilemmas. Maybe Dad left behind a misguided or inadequate will. Maybe Aunt Sue nabbed the vase that wasn't in Grandma's will and Aunt Pat hasn't spoken a kind word to her since. Maybe Sis can't decide who should get the kids in case of a tragedy, so she doesn't have any will at all. Such tales of woe have nothing to do with legal or tax problems. The real issues behind wills gone wrong-or wills that never get off the ground-are the human ones. Creating the Good Will tackles the important human dimensions that most books about wills fail to address. Arnold teaches her readers that wills are not just legal documents but also heartfelt emotional tools.
