The speaker of The Philosopher's Window and Other Poems, Allen
Grossman tells us, is "an old man compelled by the insistent
questioning of the children to explain himself"-and in this way,
the world. He begins with creation ("The Great Work Farm Elegy"),
recalls the romantic quest of youth ("The Philosopher's Window"),
returns to reality ("The Snowfall" and "Whoever Builds"). His tales
told, the old man wakes in a stormy springtime ("June, June"),
"when the lilacs are gone." Grossman's allegory of life's journey,
at once sonorous and antic, takes in the high and the low in these
new visionary songs of innocence and experience. Allen Grossman is
Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities at The Johns Hopkins
University. He counts among his many honors and awards MacArthur,
Guggenheim, and NEA fellowships, the Witter Bynner Prize for
Poetry, and the PEN-Sheaffer/New England Award for Literary
Distinction. The Philosopher's Window is his eighth book of poetry.
His previous collection, The Ether Dome & Other Poems New and
Selected (1991), was a National Book Critics Circle Award nominee.
