About this product
Product Information
Direct, informal, and richly evocative of his Jewish heritage and New York City home, Harvey Shapiro's poetry has occupied a unique place in American letters for over 50 years. This new collection brings together his latest work and much of his 11 previous collections, revealing the full arc of his carefully calibrated poetics. Shapiro engages themes including the immigrant experience, urban landmarks and lifestyles, family life, and war. The reader will see the more formal British-tinged cadences of his earlier work give way to the colloquial, personal nature of his later poems, and how Shapiro's candor and simplicity mark his work throughout the last five decades. Bringing the city and its balance of despair and exuberance into stark relief, this poetry is intimately attuned both to life's quiet disappointments and to its unanticipated miracles.

"What Shapiro can do with the first-person, anecdotal mode is close kin to a jazz master's version of an old standard. This gathering, warm and alive, is a national treasure."--Norman Finkelstein, author of Not One of Them in Place "Harvey Shapiro has written his great long poem in small increments, poem by poem, detail by radiant detail. Brought together they make a book of life, where love and war, memory and fantasy, landscape and ancient text coexist and reflect on one another. A master equally of aphorism and Imagist snapshot and savage one-liner, Shapiro is also a storyteller whose perspectives are epic even when his form is brief.""--Geoffrey O'Brien, author of The Browser's Ecstasy "What Shapiro can do with the first-person, anecdotal mode is close kin to a jazz master's version of an old standard. This gathering, warm and alive, is a national treasure.""--Norman Finkelstein, author of Not One of Them in Place, "Few modern poets can match the range of experience that Shapiro records with a classical sanity and clarity. Giving a reader so much in return for such little effort risks underestimation. I'm confident that posterity won't make this mistake..."- The Forward, "[Harvey Shapiro is] a veritable dynamo and a venerable American original whose small poems at their tonic best are as large as life."-- New York Times Book Review "What Shapiro can do with the first-person, anecdotal mode is close kin to a jazz master's version of an old standard.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
