Rough Draft The Modernist Diaries of Emily Holmes Coleman, 1929-1937

This edited selection, culled from the diary Coleman kept for over four decades, documents Coleman s experiences as an American expatriate poet, novelist, and diarist in France and England during the heyday of Anglo-American modernism. It showcases her struggles to reconcile her multiple identities as a creative, sexual, maternal, and spiritual woman as she interacted with some of the most important literary, artistic, and intellectual figures of the period."
