Both personal and political, Gidlow’s poems express the poet’s complex feelings as a young woman whose political ideology and sexual identity ran counter to the traditional values of her time. Opening her collection with “The Grey Thread,” Gidlow expresses herself with ornamental imagery, decorating her drab existence with the colorful beads of her personal identity. Employing the double meaning of “gay,” offering a brief erotic “moan” on the precipice of enjambment, Gidlow stretches her stanza to its sinful conclusion, recalling Eve’s temptation in the Garden of Eden. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elsa Gidlow’s On a Grey Thread is a classic work of lesbian literature reimagined for modern readers.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Mint Editions (Reading With Pride)Topic: FictionRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
