Description
Jim Harrison's tenth collection of poetry, Saving Daylight, is his first new book in a decade. This robust and exuberant volume pours all of Harrison's passions for life into suites, prose poems, letter-poems, and even lyrics for a mariachi band. The subjects and concerns are wide-ranging, from the heart-rending "Livingston Suite" to some of the most harrowing political poems in his career. The natural world is also present, with creatures such as bears, dogs, birds, fish, and landscapes like woodlands, thickets, and cities in Arizona, Montana, Michigan, France, and Mexico. Imagination is at the heart of Saving Daylight, a book that showcases Harrison's unique voice and vision.
