Book excerpt: DIVDIVA courageous and enthralling collection of poems by Fear of Flying author Erica Jong celebrating life, art, sex, and womanhood/divDIV seven lives,/divDIVthen we/divDIVbecome light . . ./divDIV Erica Jong’s novels are fearless and passionate. So, too, is her poetry. Though renowned—and sometimes vilified—for her unabashedly sensual fiction, the author considers herself a poet first and foremost. “It was my poetry,” Jong writes, “that kept me sane, that kept me whole, that kept me alive.”/divDIV Becoming Light contains poems personally selected by Jong from her complete oeuvre of acclaimed published works—poems of love, sex, witches, gods, and demons; word-songs brimming with wit, heart, bitterness, sorrow, and truth. From the earliest poetic musings of a brilliant young artist first trying out her wings to later works born of experience and maturity, unpublished before appearing in this collection, Jong’s pure artistry shines like a beacon as she writes, fearlessly and passionately, about being a woman, about being alive./divDIV This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection./divDIV/div/div
