From Icelandic Solitaries to A Fold in the Light, this book brings together a selection of Alan Gould's finest poems spanning three decades.
In this compilation of older and newly revised poems, Gould demonstrates that mastery of cadence and narrative style which has formed his moving body of work. These poems feature natural and personal subjects as well as dramatic formal experiments. They speak a language energized by psychological and historical necessity, yet chart that plane of metaphysical wondering - restive, delicate, haunting - which accords with our own experience.
