ReviewGeorge Garrett brings erudition and wit to this collection of poems.... The New York Times Book Review, Gardner McFallProduct DescriptionFrom Library Journal'But what of all the infamous others, ourselves/ I mean, still alive and on fire and in love/ with the taste of words.' Garrett is very much alive and on fire, and this volume allows us to hold nearly 40 years of his poetry in our hands?a heavy load, indeed. Dedicated readers will find many familiar pieces, and all can delight in the new. When the poet takes an old anthology from a library shelf, he appreciates the 'pleasures of dust, of dry stained pages,' and he notes that, according to its card, it has not been checked out in a decade. In his hands he holds the moments, passions, and ideas of his predecessors, and he revels in their 'anonymous dignity.' If we are smart, we will not let Garrett's poems sit so long between readings. His are human, funny, and thoughtful poems?what we often need when we stand in front of a crowded shelf not sure of what to reach for. For those who know Garrett the novelist, make room in your stacks for these wonderful lyrics.?Louis McKee, Painted Bride Arts Ctr., PhiladelphiaCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.About the AuthorGeorge Garrett poet, novelist, critic, and editor has written seven previous volumes of poetry, including Luck's Shining Child. He is Henry Hoyns Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Virginia.
