Inhaltsangabe
For the Scribe, the ninth collection by award-winning poet David Wojahn, continues his explorations of the interstices between the public and the private, the historical and the personal. Poems of recollection and elegy commingle and conjoin with poems which address larger matters of historical and ecological import. The subjects of extinction and apocalypse figure prominently and obsessively in these pages, both in short lyrics and in several lengthy sequences. The poems also evidence the mastery of technique for which Wojahn is renowned, whether he is writing in fixed forms or in free verse. For the Scribe is the most ambitious and searching collection thus far from a poet who has been a named finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry, winner of the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets, the O. B. Hardison Award from the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the William Carlos Williams Book Award.

paperback. Zustand: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Pittsburgh. 2017. February 2017. University of Pittsburgh Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780822964544. Pitt Poetry Series. 104 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION - 'From his startling first book Icehouse Lights, to the great integrity, virtuosity, and emotional power of From the Scribe, the poetry of David Wojahn has met the highest standards of achievement. Poems insightful, inclusive, and deeply felt, of celebration and of love - poems of morally urgent testimony to the most pressing social, political, and cultural issues of our time, and the art of poetry itself - For the Scribe contains poetry's every truth.'' - Lawrence Joseph. Past praise for David Wojahn: 'Wojahn does not settle for some vague ameliorative 'forgiveness'; he is capable of white-hot political outrage. Furthermore, he is willing to insist on the moral and political necessity of outrage. What he does do, with tonic results throughout this beautiful book, is to render the limits and imperatives that make us human. Like [Muriel] Rukeyser, Wojahn writes poetry for grown-ups; no patience for evasion, no low-stakes sentiment about the past; no drifts to inattention. No excuses.' - Linda Gregerson, in American Poet, on World Tree. inventory #44683. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers z44683
