The Address Book: Poems de Steven Heighton

The Address Book: Poems

Autor Steven Heighton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2005
The Address Book is a collection of beautifully crafted poems of love and loss. They are united by bitter complaint and grief, feelings that are only fought off by music and intelligence. Elegiac, angry, tender, and brazenly heart-felt, the poems achieve their effect through total immersion in the rich palette of human emotions, and a willingness to tap into "This whim / against what drifts to dark." The book's second half includes Heighton's versions of Western poetry's sustaining giants, including Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Sappho, Catullus, Homer, and Rilke.
