Orphan Hours is a book of reconciliation, of coming to terms with time in its most personal and memorable manifestations, and of learning the wisdom of what cannot be changed.

Old Heart
ISBN: 9780393333183 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this collection, Stanley Plumly confronts and celebrates mortality--in the detailed natural world, in the immediacy of the loss of friends, and in personal encounters.

The American Academy of Arts and Letters declared of Plumly that "he has in the last thirty years quietly, steadily, expanded the range of lyric poetry in English... and] reinvigorated our poetry." His ethical rigor and literary modesty combine in Old Heart--his finest book of poetry. In this collection, Stanley Plumly confronts and celebrates mortality--in the detailed natural world, in the immediacy of the loss of friends, and ... |
