Author: Strand, Mark

Condition: new

Pulitzer Prize-winner Mark Strand gives us a poem in forty-five sections that-despite its wide range and shifting mood and tone-is all of a piece. Here Strand speaks candidly to the reader, conversing, offering urban wit and surrealist digressions that draw on our innermost sensations and the outermost reaches of our reality:Is what exists a souvenir of the timeOf the great nought and deep night without starsThe time before the universe began?When we look at each other and see nothingIs that not a confirmation that we are lessThan meets the eye and embody some ofThe night of our origins?A timeless pursuit of timeless questions, Dark Harbor centers on uncertainty and the known, family and isolation, the possible and the real. The poems in this book are easily recognizable as the world of one of our most interesting and influential poets.
