description: Poetry. This handsome landmark edition of Simon Perchik's poems from 1949 to 1999 also includes a complete bibliography. Let others jockey for position. Perchik's poems are obdurant and honest and will reach those that need them most  James Tate. He makes dense and sometimes brutal poems with all the implicit tenderness of a full man  Paul Blackburn. Simon Perchik is widely and regularly published in many periodicals including The New Yorker, The Nation, Partisan Review, Massachusetts Review, and Southern Poetry Review. This is his seventeenth collection of poetry.
