The text contrasts it with her earlier poetry collection The Planets, first published in 1976, emphasizing that Wife of Light gathers her gifts in a more general way. It highlights traditional ode and monologue forms, full-rhyming love sonnets, and freer verse, while noting that even the bleak poems ultimately carry a celebratory

LIGHT  \nDiane Ackerman  \nDiane Ackerman's first book of poetry,ThePlanets,was published in 1976.It intro-duced a writer of astounding brilliance一her language exploded with light and herknowledge augmented her readers'.ThePlanets is a book about just that,our solarsystem.  \nWife of Light is more a general collectionof her work and marvelously displays hergifts as a modern Metaphysical poet,forwhom,as she says,\"the usual realm of poeticpassion and contemplation feels too small.”Although the poems in this book do notexperiment with form as much as do thosein The Planets,there are traditional odes,dramatic monologues,full-rhyming lovesonnets,and freer verse forms.  \nThese poems,even the bleak ones,seemultimately to be celebratory.  \nJacket design by Honi Werner  \nWILLIAM
