Poetry. RESURRECTION UPDATE collects all of James Galvin's work from four previous hard-to-find books, as well as a generous selection of new poems. Here, surrealist and elegiac currents contrast with the hard-bitten survivors in an eroding Western landscape. With a classical stoicism, modesty, and remarkable beauty in poems ranging from the rueful to the playful, Galvin continues to expand and refine what constitutes a purely American sound.
