Dogged Hearts: Poems (Master Series) (The Tupelo Master Series)
"The poems are wild, delirious -- they go every which way -- yet the (smart) organizing principle is this mind, ever alert, choosing and sorting, saving and abandoning, given up to passion and knowledge.Dogged Heartsis a powerful and wise book." --Gerald Stern"These intensely lyrical, very physical poems batter their way forward, embodiments of the struggle to keep emotionally alive;Dogged Heartsreminds us why the arts are called the humanities: because they remind us how to be human." --Tony Hoagland"'...dear rash world so far / outside my window....' Well, notthatfar, in these wily, intricate poems, because so many radiant voices live here -- old, young, the living, the dead -- plus all gorgeous manner of trees and stones and birds. A kind of glad lush chaos hits again and again in this work." --Marianne Boruch--Advance Praise
