The Person I Am Volume One (Laura (Riding) Jackson Series Book 1)

This handsome two-volume edition from Trent Editions makes available the literary memoirs of one of the most intriguing figures in twentieth-century literature. Always a singular presence in, and to, the literary scene, Laura (Riding) Jackson – poet, post-poet, critic, story-teller, visionary of language and of mind's full reach – has been a complex writer for her contemporaries to grasp. Posthumous publication of Rational Meaning and other important later work has helped toward a juster appreciation of the scope of her achievement; now, with the publication of the present book, twenty-first century readers are at last within reach of a fully rounded view of her contribution of grave substance to the literary and human future.
