The first poetry collection by D. A. Powell since his remarkable trilogy of Tea, Lunch, and
Cocktails, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award
so many of the best days seem minor forms of nearness
that easily falls among the dropseed: a rind, a left-behind
—from "no picnic"
In these brilliant new poems from one of contemporary poetry's most intriguing, singular voices, D. A. Powell strikes out for the farther territories of love and comes back from those fields with loss, with flowers faded, "blossom blast and dieback." Chronic describes the flutter and cruelty of erotic encounter, temptation, and bitter heartsickness, but with Powell's deep lyric beauty and his own brand of dark wit.

Zustand: FINE. 2nd printing. The fourth collection from Powell, winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and a book which "is simultaneously an accessible heartbreaker, a rare gem for connoisseurs, a genre-altering breakthrough. The San Franciscobased poet has lived with, and written about, HIV for a decade, and his own illness remains a subject here; so does his celebration of gay eroticism, of love in the spirit and in the flesh. . This book will be remembered for years, for its serious feelings, their swerves, their tears, its jokes." (Reed) Slightly oversized. 77 pp plus acknowledgments and colophon. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket (crease to corner of dj flap). Artikel-Nr. 92091
