Description
A world of poems as populous and diverse as it is ephemeral and evanescent, born of the world and of books and art in equal measure, yielding granite truths and feather truths of people's roller-coaster lives. Barry Gifford's poetry has been describing and changing our world for nearly half a century, with publications in The New Yorker, La Nouvelle Revue Française, and numerous other magazines and journals around the globe. This collection brings together the poet's own choices from his nine previous collections, as well as a rich selection of new poems. It offers a unique glimpse into the work of an underground poet who has left a lasting impact on the literary world. With its diverse range of subjects and themes, this volume is sure to appeal to fans of poetry and those looking for a thought-provoking read. Published in 2012, Imagining Paradise is a significant addition to Gifford's oeuvre, showcasing his unique voice and perspective.
