In this study of Dorothy Livesays love poetry, Nadine McInnis focuses on Livesays maturing sense of herself as an artist, exploring the sexual/ textual conflicts present in much of Livesays love poetry and their later resolution."Tracing Livesay's treatment of love through sixty years of poetry is not merely an illumination of one woman's extraordinary 'psychic autobiography.'...Tracing such a vein illuminates with a kind of phosphorescent clarity how a woman's blood-line, a woman's deepest and most unconscious sense of reality, flows from her own private experiences out into the larger world governed by forces not natural, but man-made."-- From Poetics of Desire
