Synopsis
From Carole Simmons Oles comes a new modern poetry biography, this one based on the life of American sculptor Harriet Hosmer (1830-1908). After an exceptional apprenticeship in Rome, Hosmer opened a studio there where she was associated with Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, and the Brownings. Though some of her work survives today, much of it has disappeared. Oles rediscovers Hosmer's life in "Waking Stone". This is a dialogue, an exploration of what Oles calls their "parallel universes." In beautiful and affecting lyric and narrative poems, some in Hosmer's voice, some in her own, Oles bends time and circumstances to reveal the essential kinship between two women artists. Oles keeps readers moving through Hosmer's story, with its flashes of delight, anger, mischief, and triumph, as well as through Oles' life and time, speaking imaginatively to young women about cutting themselves with razor blades, and to older women about suffering disfiguring treatments for breast cancer.

A Must Read For All Artists
1. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Carole Simmons Oles gives voice, in this collection, to Harriet Hosmer, American sculptor (1830-1908). She also gives voice to Hosmer's sculptures themselves. There is a flowing dialogue between Ms. Oles and Harriet and her work and critics. In a time of much self-reflection and confession by contemporary poets, this book is a breath of fresh air. The subject is not just the poet herself, but something other, someone other. We travel to Rome with Hosmer, stepping into her studio and her mind as she creates "her children" and fights off critics who focus too much attention on her rather masculine appearance. Hosmer is spirited and daring, and Oles has fun with this, as do readers, but above all Hosmer is presented as focused and determined to remain true to her vision. Oles, herself, is as gifted with a pen as Hosmer was with a chisel. Her poems are elegant and shapely in form, yet solid and weighty. And Oles brings in just enough of her own life, past and present, that readers, by book's end, feel they know her as well as Harriet---and are the better for it. I highly recommend this book to artists, in particular, whether male or female, poet or sculptor. I guarantee the many voices within its pages will continue to speak to you long after it takes its place on your shelf.
