A collection of poems which capture the experience of solitude- by
day or night, in the city or in the country, in waking or in
dreams. There are contented reveries, expressions of loneliness and
despair, reflections on mind and soul, and meditations recorded in
the stillness of the night. Poets can be said to be the custodians
of the interior life, and from Sappho's "Tonight I've watched" to
Emily Dickinson's "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" and from Yeats's
communion with 'the deep heart's core' in "The Lake Isle of
Innisfree" to Bei Dao's veneration of "Ordinary Days", some of the
most indelible poems from every time and culture have grown out of
the aloneness inherent in the poet's art. And for readers who
either seek or escape from solitude,all of the poets in this
anthology - from Sappho and Callimachus to Mark Strand and Richard
Wilbur - offer words to console and inspire. They remind us that in
cultivating solitude we explore the limits of our imaginations and
realize our mostprofound feelings and needs.
