Hailed as "indispensable" (David Wojahn), Pulitzer Prize–winning
poet Stephen Dunn masterfully shifts between the metaphysical and
the ironic, never wavering in his essential honesty. His graceful
poems confront our contradictions with tenderness and wit, enliven
the ordinary with penetrating observation, and alert us to the
haunting wonders and relationships that surround us. The Not Yet
Fallen World draws from all nineteen of Stephen Dunn’s
crystalline volumes, including his most recent, Pagan Virtues
(2019); the National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Loosestrife
(1996); and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Different Hours (2000). By
turns sardonic and profound, Dunn examines the disguises we don to
hide from ourselves and reveals sublime beauty hidden within
seemingly mundane interactions. Nine new poems extend the poet’s
inquiry into the paradoxes of contemporary life; as he writes in
"Love Poem Near the End of the World," "Something keeps me holding
on / to a future I didn’t think possible." Arranged to further
Dunn’s signature themes—mortality, morality, and the roles we
play in the essential human comedy of getting through each
day—this final collection captures the breadth of an acclaimed
poet’s achievement. His legacy is a poetic expanse suffused with
fearless generosity and perceptive wisdom.
