An exhilarating new collection by the poet often applauded as the modern Walt Whitman. "For over two decades," the Library Journal has said, "no one has equaled Gerald Stern's compassionate, surreal parables about the burden of and the exaltation of being alive." The poems in this substantial volume, the majority of which are no longer available in other editions, have been selected from seven previous collections (1972-1995). Along with favorite poems redeemed, Stern offers a generous array of new poems, including moving tributes to Larry Levis, "Eggshell," and Allen Ginsberg, "Lilacs for Ginsberg."

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition, 1st printing. 288pp. Winner of the 1998 National Book Award for Poetry. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "An exhilarating new collection by the poet often acclaimed as the modern Walt Whitman, his 'spiritual reincarnation.' [] 'For over two decades,' the Library Journal has said, 'no one has equaled Gerald Stern's compassionate, surreal parables about the burden of and the exaltation at being alive. He wrestles pieces of incomprehensible destiny into harmony, surging between everyday and the ineffable.' The poems in this substantial volume, the majority of which are no longer available in other editions, have been selected from seven previous collections (1971-95). [] Among favorite poems redeemed, readers will rejoice to find 'Lucky Life.' Stern also offers a generous array of new poems under such titles as 'Self-Portrait in His Sixties,' 'The Sounds of Wagner,' and 'Both of Them Were Sixty-Five,' a poem about a meeting between the author's mother and Aaron Copland. There are moving tributes to Larry Levis, 'Eggshell,' and Allen Ginsberg, 'Lilacs for Ginsberg.' Throughout, Stern circles and addresses the themes that have always engaged him: love, hope, memory, and faith." [jacket copy] "Stern is one of those rare poetic souls who makes it almost impossible to remember what our world was like before his poetry came to exalt it."--C. K. Williams. "I turn to Stern's poetry because he's so wholehearted in his embrace of the paradoxical nature of life, because of the ebullient way his poems praise the foolishness and grace of our mortal dance."--Gail Mazur, Boston Sunday Globe. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an attractive & bright jacket w/the book award's gold seal. Quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB2871
