Climate of Opinion: Sigmund Freud in Poetry
Ed. Irene Willis IP Books, 2017 Review by Dante Di Stefano in The Best American Poetry 2019.
Irene Willis has curated a lively and compelling anthology of poetic engagements with Freud and his complicated psychoanalytic and cultural legacies. The anthology begins with the elegy by W.H. Auden, “For Sigmund Freud,” which ends:
Our rational voice is dumb; over a grave
The household of impulse mourns one dearly loved:

David Lehman’s “Freud Quiz” concludes the volume on a buoyant and anodyne note. Between Auden and Lehman, Willis anthologizes poems by H.D., Anna Freud, Anne Carson, Dorothy Parker, Alicia Ostriker, Toi Derricotte, Stephen Dobyns, Lynn Emanuel, Louise Glück, Anne Sexton, David Giannini, and many more. Some of the highlights of the anthology Continue reading Review of Climate of Opinion edited by Irene Willis Reviewed by Dante Di Stefano in The Best American Poetry
