Description: "In The Flashboat: Poems Collected and Reclaimed, Jane Cooper has brought together the contents of four earlier books with a number of poems not previously published in book form. In a voice of unusual integrity, she traces the arc of a life, from the haunting personal lyrics of her first published volume to poems that, with no loss of intimacy, engage history and the world with increasing subtlety and passion."--BOOK JACKET.

"The "flashboat" - a word dreamed by the poet - suggests both a flashlight and a lifeboat: what saves us, what lights our way."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes index.
