For the last thirty years or more, Kenneth Koch has been writing the most exuberant poems in America. In an arena where such good spirits are rare, he has become a national treasure. In his book of personal addresses to what has mattered most in his seventyplus years on the planet, there is a dimension of pathos and joy rare in the poetry of any era.' National Book Award (2000) finalist citation for New AddressesThe three long poems Bel Canto, Possible World, and A Memoir in this brilliant successor to New Addresses are ambitious attempts at rendering the complete story of a life. Taken together they present a dazzling picture of the pleasures and confusions of existence, as well as the pleasures and difficulties of expressing them.Other poems bring Kochs questioning, lyrical attention to more particular aspects of experience, real and imagineda shipboard meeting, the Moor not taken, or the unknowable realm of mountaintops. As in all of Kochs work, one hears the music of unconquerable exuberance in stormy conflict with whatever resists itdeath, the injustice of power, the vagaries of life in Thailand, China, or Rome.Thomas Disch has written in the Boston Book Review that Koch is the most capable technician on the American scene, the brightest wit, and the emeritus most likely to persist into the next millennium . . . His work is full of ribaldry and wit, musicianship, pitchperfect mimicry of the Great Tradition, and the celebration of pleasure for its own sunlit sake.The ebullience and stylistic variety that one has come to expect of this protean poet is everywhere present in this scintillating collection.
