Zusammenfassung:In this newest book of poems -- the first since his 1996 National Book Award -- Carruth confronts the threadbare memories and the fading winter view of old age. From the bleakest circumstances -- the death of his daughter, physical and mental pain, poverty -- Carruth defiantly reclaims dignity and beauty. His poetry is at once classical and modern. With the spit and bop of a great jazzman playing all the right notes, Carruth lives his music, finding the perfect low tones of terrible loss, the highs of family and friendship. Yet he is also the wise old sage of classical Greece, warning, riddling, giving generous counsel and insight.
