Valentine, Jean.

The cradle of the real life / Jean Valentine.

[Middletown, Conn.] : Wesleyan University Press ; Hanover, NH : University Press of New England, ©2000.

x, 75 pages ; 22 cm.

"The poems ride lightly on the waves of thought, more textures than statements. The cradle of the real life is divided into two sections, the shorter first section dealing with loss and death and the longer second section, entitled 'Her lost book," which weaves memories with various metaphors for writing and deals specifically with the 'problem' of women's writing."--Cover.
