Hazard and Prospect : New and Selected Poems Hardback

Hardback

Description

Lyrical beauty and power, imposing metaphor, and thought both deep and precise are hallmarks of Kelly Cherry's poetry, on view in Hazard and Prospect: New and Selected Poems.

With a dazzling mastery and range of tone, technique, form, and ideas, Cherry presents a lifetime of powerful writing that coheres into a single, seamless work.

In it she responds to the natural world, to philosophical dilem­mas, to spiritual longing, to political, ethical, and aesthetic questions, and, most powerfully, to love and loss.

She shows us in sometimes searing poems where the hazards lie, and in transcendent verse a new, bright prospect, a ""green place"" on a farm in Virginia where time slows and holds and happiness abides.
