Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[Stern's] style insinuates itself into your consciousness like a catchy tune, so that you find your thoughts echoing its rhythms, bopping from one to another, back and forth, like thought and language doing a jitterbug." -- Frank Wilson "Vivid and imagistic ... brilliant." "Gerald Stern takes his place at the head of our table as our grand Mensch of poetry."

Reseña del editor:

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 knowledge-even wisdom-that 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 useless-you who know it know how useful it is-and how he would be dead in a minute if he were to lose it though how do you lose a lily?
