Natural History and Other Poems, Paperback / softback Book

Natural History and Other Poems Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Dan Chiasson has been hailed in America as 'one of the most gifted young poets of his generation' (Frank Bidart).

This book - his first to be published in Britain - brings together poems from his first two US collections, "The Afterlife of Objects" (2002) and "Natural History" (2005), along with more recent work.

His later collection, "Where's the Moon, There's the Moon", was published by Bloodaxe in 2010. "The Afterlife of Objects" is a kind of dreamed autobiography in which the enigmas of an individual mind become universal puzzles. "Natural History" takes its inspiration from Pliny's encyclopaedic "Historia Naturalis", suggesting that a person is like a world, full of mysteries and wonders - and equally in need of a compendium of everything known.
