<DIV><DIV><b>A courageous and enthralling collection of poems by&#160;<i>Fear of Flying&#160;</i>author Erica Jong celebrating life, art, sex, and womanhood</b></div><DIV><i><BR>seven lives,</i></div><DIV><i>then we</i></div><DIV><i>become light . . .</i></div><DIV><BR>Erica Jong&rsquo;s novels are fearless and passionate. So, too, is her poetry. Though renowned&mdash;and sometimes vilified&mdash;for her unabashedly sensual fiction, the author considers herself a poet first and foremost. &ldquo;It was my poetry,&rdquo; Jong writes, &ldquo;that kept me sane, that kept me whole, that kept me alive.&rdquo;</div><DIV><i><BR>Becoming Light</i>&#160;contains poems personally selected by Jong from her complete oeuvre of acclaimed published works&mdash;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poetic musings of a brilliant young artist first trying out her wings to later works born of experience and maturity, unpublished before appearing in this collection, Jong&rsquo;s pure artistry shines like a beacon as she writes, fearlessly and passionately, about being a woman, about being alive.</div><DIV><BR>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div><DIV></div></div>
