Summary

Set in a castle and on its grounds in Brittany,The Little Field of Selfis one long poem comprised of individual poems that articulate the essence of devotion and the conflict within the devoted. With surprising inventiveness and technical skill, and without ornamentation, self-consciousness, or self-display, Doreen Gildroy has forged an original poetic style that renders inner being authentically and convincingly.

Author Biography

Doreen Gildroy lives in Irvine, California. Her poems have appeared in magazines such as American Poetry Review, Ploughshares, and TriQuarterly, among others. This is her first book.
