Description:
Here is a feast for fans of Peter Balakian, a brilliant selection traversing a remarkable 25-year career. Transcending both the overwrought confession and the cryptic abstraction that plague so much of contemporary verse, Balakian writes with restrained power, exploring everything from the sublime depths of nature to the nightmare world of human history, oceanfishing along the Jersey shore to genocide in Armenia. In language that is sensuous and inventive, Balakian's poetry creates vivid textured worlds of startling leaps -- fusing, for example, the making of blood pudding with the growth of a fetus in one poem -- to reveal the connections that run through all things. HarperCollins is proud to publish the best of Balakian's previous four books, as well as a dozen new poems, in this marvelous selection.
