The first book in a decade from a poet whose blank verse speaks
"with the precise qualifications of Henry James, and conveys the
muted but implicit drama of Edward Hopper"--Anthony Hecht.. In
this, his first collection since the acclaimed Little Voices of the
Pears , Herbert Morris gathers fifteen recent poems in his two
signature modes, the dramatic monologue and the meditative reverie.
His subjects include a resplendent apricot gown once worn by
Lillian Gish ("Chaplin enthralled, Griffith smitten, ecstatic"); a
poignant human detail in Caravaggio's The Sacrifice of Isaac ; and
a host of variations on the Peaceable Kingdom , the obsessive
lifework of the painter Edward Hicks. Mr. Morris's blank verse, for
decades now a glory of American poetry, here achieves a new level
of mastery.
