Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

As American critic Tom Disch quipped of many vintage poets: 'friends and pets die, the garden takes on a new significance.' The poems presented in The Joy of a Ming Vase are sensitively imbued not only with the poet's awareness of impending death but also with the incorrigible fragility of life. Award winning poet Ruth Dallas is at home in a number of different modes and her high regard for literary tradition as a form of spiritual realism makes her eminently readable as a disciplined watcher of the seasons.
