"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.…

Dead Man's Float is, as its title would suggest, a flinty and psalmist look at mortality and wonder.' -Los Angeles TimesTwo months after the hardback publication of Dead Man's Float, Jim Harrison was found dead in his home office. Harrison always thought he would die young, and when he didn't he became increasingly preoccupied with time. As old age proved to be a harrowing trial, Harrison titled his book after a survival technique used by swimmers during an exhausting journey. This paperback edition includes the poem Harrison was writing at the time of his death, published here for the first time.From 'Bridge'. . . Sometimes the sea roars and howls like the animal it is, a continent wide and alive. What beauty in this the darkest musicover which you can hear the lightest music of humanbehavior, the tender connection between men and galaxies . . .Jim Harrison was the author of over thirty books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. His books have been translated into two dozen languages, and in 2007 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.…
