David Ferry's "Of No Country I Know: New and Selected Poems and
Translations" provides a wonderful gathering of the work of one of
the great American poetic voices of the twentieth century. It
brings together his new poems and translations, collected here for
the first time; his books "Strangers" and "Dwelling Places" in
their entirety; selections from his first book, "On the Way to the
Island"; and selections from his celebrated translations of the
Babylonian epic "Gilgamesh," the "Odes of Horace," and of Virgil's
"Eclogues," This is Ferry's fullest and most resonant book,
demonstrating the depth and breadth of forty years of a life in
poetry.
"Though Ferry is perhaps best known for his eloquent translations
of Horace and Virgil, "Of No Country I Know" demonstrates that he
deserves acclaim for his own poetry as well."--Carmela Ciuraru,
"New York Times Book Review"
