About this product
Product Information
An unflinching study of death, Kevin Prufer's The Fears invites us to consider what it means to matter . Editor, publisher, and poet Kevin Prufer presents his ninth poetry collection, The Fears , an intimate meditation on storytelling and mortality. "Ghostlit by streetlights" and filtered through tale and recollection, Prufer examines our fears of loss, death, and obscurity. Narratives are braided together as Prufer manipulates white space to mimic the silence of minds at work on unsolvable problems, how time "unravels / endlessly." Here, visions of classical Greece and the trials of ancient Romans coexist with the everyday--memories of a parent's death or the loss of a pet. We bear witness as the poet writes to preserve the intricacy of his own mind against the "certainty of absence." Exploring what it means to be forgotten and how legacy is preserved through poetry, history books, a mummy's index finger, and love letters from the grave, The Fears invites us to consider what it means to matter .

Reviews
"A gothic extravaganza featuring alligators, avalanches and medical devices left inside bodies, delivered largely in long, musical free verse lines. Poetry at full boil, poured with deliberate abandon." -- David Orr, The New York Times Book Review "Prufer's skillful use of traditional form; the presence of rhyme, meter, sonnets, and ars poeticae creates a complex and rich collection." -- American Poet "I don't believe the box of notes you admit carrying in your pocket can be described by you as a simple record of the times. In truth, the poems [of How He Loved Them ] delineate a passion for the world in eloquent and profound ways, vividly understandable when conveyed to the reader." -- Judge's comments, 2018 Julie Suk Award "Intimacy, clarity of feeling, subtle music--these are the hallmarks of the lyric poem, and all three of these attributes are found in ["My Newspapers,"] my selection for the Lyric Poetry Award." -- Mark Wunderlich , Poetry Society of America "[Prufer's] work is deep, but never goes too far. He makes you think about the world, the country, and yourself in such an analytical way." -- Britney Gulbrandsen "Kevin Prufer has courage and compassion. And he places words so beautiful and accurate and terrifying along a line you can't help but read to the end." -- Marie Howe, Praise for The Fears "Picking up a collection of Prufer's poems feels, to me at least, like settling into a favorite reading chair for the afternoon: he has found a form that mimics the way his own brain works, and given up the endless search for something new. A reader doesn't have to learn a new language, and Prufer can focus on his real subject matter."-- Susanna Lang, Rhino Poetry Praise for Kevin Prufer "A gothic extravaganza featuring alligators, avalanches and medical devices left inside bodies, delivered largely in long, musical free verse lines.

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!
