Produktbeschreibung

The work of an American master.World Literature Today

The lyric poems of In Beauty Bright, although marked by the same passion and swiftness as Gerald Stern's previous work, move into an area of knowledgeeven wisdomthat reflects a long life of writing, teaching, and activism. They are poems of grief and anger, but the music is delicate and moving.

from "In Beauty Bright":

In beauty-bright and such it was like Blake's
lily and though an angel he looked absurd
dragging a lily out of a beauty-bright store
wrapped in tissue with a petal drooping,
nor was it uselessyou who know it know
how useful it isand how he would be dead
in a minute if he were to lose it though
how do you lose a lily?
