Description
Desire, its essence and its effect, informs Apology for Want. With precise language and evocative metaphor, Mary Jo Bang convinces us of our "always ravenous hunger." Employing penetrating images, she explicates the consequences of our dogged wanting. We cannot extricate ourselves from this cycle of desire and regret, nor should we choose to, as Bang reminds us in "Cafe Edgar," the powerful final poem in this collection.
