Almost an Elegy (eBook, ePUB)

New and Later Selected Poems

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A moving and incandescent volume from a poet celebrated for her unfailing mastery of her medium (New York Times Book Review).

In poems of graceful lyricism and penetrating observation, award-winning poet Linda Pastan sheds new light on the complexities of ordinary life and the rising tide of mortality. Drawing from Pastan's five most recent volumesincluding The Last Uncle (2002), Traveling Light (2011), and Insomnia (2015)and with over thirty new poems, Almost an Elegy reflects on beauty, old age, and the probability of loss. Whether in a lush evocation of an impressionist painting or a wry and wistful ode to a car key, Pastan finds lucid meaning in the passage of time.

From Mirage:
I want to simply be one with the trees sighing
outside my window, sighing not for me
but to accommodate the wind.
