Paperback. A selection of the greatest poems from one of poetrys most beloved mystics The American poet Robert Lax belongs to the generation of Thomas Merton, Beat poetry, Abstract Expressionism, and the compositions of John Cage. Yet he stands out as this eras most intriguing minimalist poet, gaining this reputation through a constant questioning of the universe and our idea about it. His poetry varies from fables and parables to clear-cut columns of words, from his account of a day at the circus as a vision of creation to his own insistent and mystical search for truth. 33 Poems presents the quintessential gathering of Laxs work, including Sea & Sky and The Circus of the Sun, perhaps the greatest English-language poem of this century (The New York Times). A selection of the greatest poems from one ofpoetrys most beloved mystics Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
