Direct, informal, and richly evocative of his Jewish heritage and
New York City home, Harvey Shapiro's poetry has occupied a unique
place in American letters for over 50 years. This new collection
brings together his latest work and much of his 11 previous
collections, revealing the full arc of his carefully calibrated
poetics. Shapiro engages themes including the immigrant experience,
urban landmarks and lifestyles, family life, and war. The reader
will see the more formal British-tinged cadences of his earlier
work give way to the colloquial, personal nature of his later
poems, and how Shapiro's candor and simplicity mark his work
throughout the last five decades. Bringing the city and its balance
of despair and exuberance into stark relief, this poetry is
intimately attuned both to life's quiet disappointments and to its
unanticipated miracles.
