Reviews

"While the troubadours have been the focus of considerable scholarly and aesthetic attention, their female counterparts are much less known, particularly among contemporary poets. Truth of My Songs opens a wide window onto the ways in which medieval women of this particular class and place managed power and desire--and also gives us an evanescent sense of a dramatically distant world, one with radically different logics, senses, and songs. Through Keelan's translations and her historically evocative annotations, we get to re-inhabit it in vivid glimpses that defy time."--Cole Swensen, co-editor of the Norton anthology American Hybrid (1/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
