Bücher von Gerald Stern

A collection of poems which praise and mourn in turn and even at once.

"Ruthless and occasionally outrageous, Stern's literary songs are sharp, surprising, and unerring in their delivery."-Ploughshares, Editor's Choice

"For over two decades, no one has equaled Stern's compassionate, surreal parables about the burden of and the exaltation at being alive."-Library Journal

Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.

"Stern's bebop poems shimmer and shadow-dance down the page."-Booklist
