商品簡介
Poetry. "Approaching eighty, Robert Dana, in THE OTHER, seems younger and more vigorous than ever. There are laments here, certainly, like the touching poem about his friend and fellow writer Donald Justice. 'The book is closing on my generation,' he writes about his childhood hometown, but he then goes on--with etching clarity--to make the lost eras come alive. He takes us with him 'under the red and gold of Woolworth's Five and Dime,' and brings back other times so that yesterday, even though lost, becomes today again. But THE OTHER is more than a book of recollections. This is a book about the edgy beauty of our world right now. Its subject is the world's 'terrible unfamiliarity' and one more instance of Dana's lifelong quest for a language accurate enough to reckon the days we live in. The poems are, by turns, dark with the politics and violence of our era or joyous with the delights he finds in his rose garden and on his beloved beaches. These aren't poems about things so much as they are poems that embody the 'whatness' of the things themselves. Dana wishes, near the end of 'Everything in Its Own Green Time,' that his books breathe. Certainly that's the great pleasure for the reader of THE OTHER: that we catch him in his poems the ageless soul in a bittersweet world"--R.M. Ryan. In September 2004, Robert Dana was named poet laureate for the State of Iowa.
