X' is the kiss and betrayal, the embrace, the crucifixion, the mathematical unknown. In his sixth book of poems, James Galvin writes from a deep, philosophical engagement with the landscape and faces a 'vertigo of solitude' with his marriage dissolved, his only daughter grown and gone, and the log house he built by hand abandoned. 'What did I love that made me believe it would last?' he asks.Something has to be true enough to beTaken for granted.In the hospital I sawAn old manCaressing the face of an old woman.This same man, young, caressed her faceIn just that way.Thats the stillnessAt the center of changeA sadness worth dying for, I swearThere is no other.from 'Dying into What Ive Done''James Galvin has a voice and a world, perhaps the two most difficult things to achieve in poetry.'The Nation'In James Galvin we have a superior poet.'American Book Review'Galvins poems have the virtues of precise observation and original language, yes, but what he also brings to the table is a rigor of mind and firmness of phrasing which make the slightest of his poems an architectural pleasure.'Harvard ReviewJames Galvin has published five collections of poetry, most recently Resurrection Update: Collected Poems 19751997, which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Lenore Marshall/The Nation Prize. He is also the author of the critically acclaimed prose book, The Meadow and a novel, Fencing the Sky. He lives in Laramie, Wyoming, where he works as a rancher part of each year, and in Iowa City, where he is a member of the permanent faculty of the University of Iowa Writers Workshop.
