Red Trousseau Author:Carol Muske Red Trousseau is the latest work from one of America's greatest modern poets. The Los Angeles Times wrote that Carol Muske has "discovered a way to work magic within the boundaries of technical achievement... Her contemplation of experience is personal yet moves further, into the spiritual and philosop... more »hical; then it belongs not only to the poet but to all of us.
"The poems in Red Trousseau use Los Angeles as a symbol for the seduction of appearances; reality crosses firm the Wallace Stevens notion of the sun in Red Trousseau," "hovering in its guise of impatient tribunal," to the sun in "Unsent Letter," in which a director reshoots a tarnished sunset so that "the scene, infinite, rebegins." In Muske's poems primary colors dominate, most notably red -- the red of Salem burnings, the self-immolation of a political dissident in Prague, and Eros itself, moving like a red shadow over the body of love. Stylistically brilliant and emotionally resonant, the poems in Red Trousseau display the work of a master poet at the peak of her craft.« less
