This book gathers under one roof poems from all of Richardson's
earlier collections, a number of which are out of print:
"Reservations" (1977), "Second Guesses" (1984), "As If"(1992), "A
Suite for Lucretians" (1999), "How Things Are" (2000), and
"Vectors: Aphorisms & Ten-Second Essays" (2001), as well as a
large selection of new poems and aphorisms.
A distillation of three decades of work, "Interglacial" will
introduce this poet to a new generation of readers. Richardson fans
will be pleased to discover early poems long out of print, and to
see this poet's work in a larger, retrospective context.
Praise for Vectors: Aphorisms & Ten-Second Essays:
"Not since the appearance of W.S. Merwin's translations and
adaptations of aphorisms in "Asian Figures," some thirty years ago,
has an American poet put down so much delightful and compelling
wisdom."-Daryl Scroggins in "American Literary Review"
"Page after page there is the exciting sense of something hidden
and true coming to light, bringing with it a sense of delighted
recognition and discovery for the reader, and articulated in a way
that has never quite been done before. I can think of no deeper
pleasure a work can bring."-Laurie Sheck
"Vectors is the kind of book you read, reread, thumb through,
and pick up several extra copies because you want to share the joy
you found in perusing it with friends."-Scott Hightower in "Barrow
Street"
