Description
Poetry. In this exquisite third book, Bert Stern grapples with the elemental and the extraordinary, looking back on the length of his journey and finding realms of possibility, powerful proof of a life well lived. Moments of divine recognition pervade these poems—their rough terrains, their changing atmospheres and stunning grace—culminating in a profound sense of gratitude for the tactile world. Here is a poet writing at the height of his powers.
