1st. ed., 1st printing ; 75 pages ; 21 cm ; ISBN 9780544649651, 0544649656 ; OCLC 913924162 ; LCCN 2015047705 ; LOC No PS3562.U87 A6 2016 ; "A Mariner original." ; stiff paper wrappers ; "A brilliant new collection of poems by Kingsley Tufts Award-winning poet Thomas Lux With To the Left of Time, Thomas Lux adds more than fifty new poems to his celebrated oeuvre. Broken into three sections, these include semi-autobiographical poems, odes, and a final section that delves into a variety of subjects reflective of Lux's imaginative range. Full of his characteristic satire and humor, this new collection promises laughter and profound insight into the human condition. To the Left of Time is a powerful addition to the work of one who has been widely praised for his ability to offer image- and metaphor-driven visions as well as lines of plain language and immediacy. This collection proves that Lux's work will continue to inspire readers for decades to come."-- Provided by publisher ; Thomas Lux was born in Northampton, Massachusetts on December 10, 1946. He graduated from Emerson College in Boston. He was a member of the writing faculty at Sarah Lawrence College for 25 years before becoming the Bourne Professor of Poetry at Georgia Tech in 2001. He was also the director of the McEver Visiting Writers program at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the director of Poetry@Tech. His first collection of poetry, Memory's Handgrenade, was published in 1972. His other collections of poetry include To the Left of Time, New and Selected Poems of Thomas Lux: 1975-1995, God Particles, Child Made of Sand, The Street of Clocks, and From the Southland. In 1994, he won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award for the collection Split Horizon. He died February 5, 2017 at the age of 70. ; Contents: Cow Chases Boys -- Haystack of Needles -- Nullius in Verba (Take Nobody's Word for It) -- Indigo Felix: -- The Horse Poisoner -- A Long Line of Nightingales, -- My Father Whistled -- Double Barrel Sparrow -- For My Sister -- The Milking Stool -- Glass Eye -- Manure Pile Covered in Snow -- So Bury Me in a Barrel -- The Day -- Grade Schools' Large Windows -- II: ODES -- Ode to the Joyful Ones -- Ode to the Eating Establishment Where the Utensils Were Chained to the Table, -- Ode to the Fire Hydrant -- Ode While Awaiting Execution -- Ode to What I Have Forgotten -- Ode to the Eraser as Big as a Bus -- Ode Elaborating on the Obvious -- Ode to All Songs, Poems, Stories That Begin "I Woke Up This Morning" -- Ode to IQ And Aptitude Tests, -- Ode to the Unbroken World, Which Is Coming -- Ode to the Electric Fish That Eat Only the Tails of Other Electric Fish -- Ode to Small Islands -- Ode to Peep Tubes and Their Makers -- Ode to Chronic Insolvency -- Ode to the Pig Rolled from the Castle down a Hill to Where the Peasants Wait with Axes -- Ode to Gandhi, Who Wrote a Letter to Hitler Asking Him Not to Start a War -- Ode to Pain in the Absence of an Obvious Cause of Pain -- Ode to the Fat Child Who Went First onto the Thin Ice -- Ode to the Moment Between Dust and Dust -- Ode to Those Who Study the Miasmas -- Ode to the River That Abandons One Channel and Finds Another More Suited to Its Purpose -- Ode to Asa Bundy Sheffey, -- Ode to the Archipelagoes of Discarded Chewing Gum on Sidewalks -- Ode to Scars -- Ode to Lichen -- A Man's Little Heart's Short Fever Fit -- There's a Word for It -- Blue with Collapse -- Praisegod Barebones -- Attila the Hun Meets Pope Leo I -- Along the Trail of Your Vertebral Spine -- For Second Lieutenant J.
