Celebrated for her award-winning political columns, criticism, and poetry, Katha Pollitt offers something new in this poignant, hilarious, and sometimes outrageous collection of stories drawn from her own life. With deep feeling and sharp insight, she writes about love, sex, betrayal, heartbreak, and much more: what she learned about her parents from reading their FBI files, the joy and loneliness of new motherhood, the curious mental effects of a post-college stint proofreading pornographic novels, and the decline and fall of practically everything, including herself. Unafraid to say what others only think and acknowledge what others won't admit, Katha Pollitt surprises and entertains from prologue to the end.

"... a careful and skillful poet..." - Wales Arts Review "Pollit has given us a satisfying collection." - Planet Magazine The Mind-Body Problem introduces British readers to the much-praised and widely published American poet and essayist Katha Pollitt, who brings a distinctive blend of wit and lyricism to a profusion of subjects, sad, glad and everywhere in between. Ranging across jumble-sales, Jane Austen, Chinese poets, birds and flowers and cats and dogs, New York City in its crumbling glory, mothers in the playground and hermits in the desert, Pollitt gives a modern, paradoxical twist to philosophical and political conundrums how do you write an anti-war poem that isn t also a pat on the back to the ever-so-sensitive poet And in a brilliant central section, she reimagines biblical stories to give the last word to female characters like Matha and Lot's wife. Admirers of Wislawa Szymborska will recognize a kindred spirit, balanced between amusement and melancholy at the endlessly fascinating world.
