A Little White Shadow

A Little White Shadow

• Used Book in Good Condition

<div><p>Selectively painting over much of a forgotten nineteenth-century book, Ruefle’s ninth publication brings new meaning to an old story. What remains visible is delicate poetry: artfully rendered, haunted by its former self, yet completely new. A high-quality replica of the original aged, delicate book in which Ruefle “erased” the text, this book will appeal to fans of poetry as well as visual art.</p><p><B>Mary Ruefle</B> is the author of <I>Madness, Rack, and Honey: Collected Lectures</I>, a finalist for the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism (Wave Books, 2012), and <I>Selected Poems</I> (Wave Books, 2010), winner of the William Carlos Williams Award. She has published ten other books of poetry, a book of prose (<I>The Most of It</I>, Wave Books, 2008), and a comic book, <I>Go Home and Go to Bed!</I>, (Pilot Books/Orange Table Comics, 2007); she is also an erasure artist, whose treatments of nineteenth century texts have been exhibited in museums and galleries, and include the publication of <I>A Little White Shadow</I> (Wave Books, 2006). Ruefle is the recipient of numerous honors, including an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, and a Whiting Award.
