Categories: Poetry
ATWOOD IS HOTTER THAN EVER: The hugely acclaimed Handmaid's Tale television series swept the 2017 Emmy Awards, advancing a discourse on women's rights and body politics that is becoming rather disturbingly timely given the current political climate in the U.S., and indeed, North America. Sarah Polley's adaptation of Alias Grace, a six-part mini-series, will be launching in late September on CBC, and there is sure to be continued buzz surrounding Atwood well into the new year.A GROUNDBREAKING AND SEMINAL WORK FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ACCLAIMED WRITERS: Power Politics opens with one of Atwood's most famous lines - some of the most well-known in contemporary English literature: "you fit into me / like a hook into an eye / a fish hook / an open eye" (featured in Episode 5 of the Handmaid's Tale series!).KEY TO UNDERSTANDING ATWOOD'S OEUVRE: The collection is a key testament to Atwood's early virtuosity and is as startling now as it was at its original publication over forty-five years ago. Though she shies away from being regarded solely as a feminist writer, this work is key to recognizing her pioneering and tenacious work at the height of the women's movement.HANDSOME A LIST REISSUE: Power Politics will receive the full A List treatment, including an original cover illustration.
