Stated First Edition, 2nd printing. 107pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "A 'dead man's float' is a survival technique used by swimmers during an exhausting journey. Reading and writing poems served as Jim Harrison's dead man's float while he gritted through the agonies and indignities of shingles and surgeries. During his lengthy convalescence, Harrison extols fellow poets who suffered greater hardships and brutal deaths--Lorca, Machado, Mandelstam--and marvels at the beauty they created. Preoccupied with the savageries of time and recognizing that 'at my age you don't think about the future because you don't have one,' Harrison assures his readers: 'Mind you, I'm in no rush for this to end.'" [] "Harrison pours himself into everything he writes. . . As he navigates his seventies, he continues to marvel with succinct awe and earthy lyricism over the wonders of birds, dogs, and stars as he pays haunting homage to his dead and contends with age's assaults. . . Bracingly candid, gracefully elegiac, tough, and passionate, Harrison travels the deep river of the spirit, from the wailing precincts of a hospital to a 'green glade of soft marsh grass near a pool in a creek' to the moon-bright sea."--Donna Seaman, Booklist. [jacket copy] "Jim Harrison has been a remarkably productive writer across a multitude of genres. . . His poetry is earthy, witty, keenly observed and tied closely to the natural world. . . mortality looms large in DEAD MAN'S FLOAT, his 14th collection of poems. . . Forceful, lucid, fearlessly honest, Harrison knows that the nearness of death intensifies life."--Arlice Davenport, Wichita Daily Eagle. "Jim Harrison is still close to the source. . . DEAD MAN'S FLOAT is, as its title would suggest, a flinty and psalmist look at mortality and wonder."--Los Angeles Times. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket featuring a classic author's photo on its back. Quite presentable.
