description: Poetry. Simon Pettet is among his generation's most highly regarded poets. Known to his peers as one of few whose control of the language is flawless, he is a master of his craft. MORE WINNOWED FRAGMENTS, Pettet's first book in a decade, is among the most important books of poetry of our time. "[Pettet] lives as though life were its own pleasure, which it is and must obviously be. He sounds those same simplicities of profound music Blake also knew. He moves with a deft and practiced quiet. `It is as though he were telling us/ that this small space/ contains the pattern for/ all eternity.' He speaks the truth"--Robert Creeley. Simon Pettet was born in England but has made his home on Manhattan's Lower East Side for the past three decades.
