The lyric poems of In Beauty Bright, although marked by the same passion and swiftness as Gerald Stern's previous work, move into an area of knowledgeeven wisdomthat reflects a long life of writing, teaching, and activism. They are poems of grief and anger, but the music is delicate and moving.
from "In Beauty Bright":
In beauty-bright and such it was like Blake's
lily and though an angel he looked absurd
dragging a lily out of a beauty-bright store
wrapped in tissue with a petal drooping,
nor was it uselessyou who know it know
how useful it isand how he would be dead
in a minute if he were to lose it though
how do you lose a lily?
