Introduction to Christina Pugh's Poetry
Apocalyptic writing has always grappled with the question of what language can reveal when the world seems on the verge of collapse, a theme that also drives poetry.
In her collection "The Right Hand," Christina Pugh transforms this tension into an inquiry of both spirit and body, inheriting the intensity of "The Book of Revelation" while exploring the material world.
To yield is a power
Her poems move through the world with an alert and visionary calm, turning apocalypse into an opening rather than an ending.
As French philosopher Gaston Bachelard notes,
to read poetry is essentially to daydream, joining reality and imagination into one deep current, which runs through each of Pugh's poems.
