This new collection from best-selling poet and novelist Stephen
Dobyns focuses on the hard, ephemeral truth of mortality, including
the section "Sixteen Sonnets for Isabel" about the recent death of
his wife; the poem "Laugh," a portrait of the late poet Hayden
Carruth; and the poignant parable of a horse in a bar. In true
Dobyns fashion, these poems grip and guide readers into a state of
empathy, ultimately raising the question of how one lives and
endures in the world. Recognitions The awful imbalance that occurs
with age when you suddenly see that more friends have died, than
remain alive. And at times the memory seems so real that the latest
realization of a death can become a second, smaller death. All
those talks cut off in mid- sentence. All those plans tossed in the
trash. What can you do but sit out on the porch when evening comes?
The day's last light reddens the leaves of the copper beach.
Stephen Dobyns is the best-selling author of twenty-three novels,
fourteen books of poetry, two collections of essays, and one book
of short stories. Among his many honors and awards are fellowships
from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim
Foundation. Dobyns has worked as a reporter for Detroit News, and
has written reviews for such publications as the New York Times,
the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, and
the Times Literary Supplement. He has taught at various academic
institutions, including Sarah Lawrence College, the Warren Wilson
College MFA Program for Writers, the University of Iowa, Syracuse
University, and Boston University. He currently lives in Westerly,
Rhode Island.
