Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Inscribed by the author on the title page: 'For Richard, / (signed) Thomas Lux / PBPF / Delray, FL / Jan. 2013'. A Near Fine copy of the First Edition with complete number line; dust jacket Near Fine. // 'Reader's familiar with Thomas Lux's quick-witted images ('Language without simile is like a lung/ without air') and his rambunctious, Cirque-Du-Soleil-like imagination ('The Under-Appreciated Pontooniers') will find in his new collection, Child Made of Sand, not only the signature funny, provocative, and poignant super-surrealism that has made him, along with Charles Simic, James Tate, and Dean Young, one of America's most inventive and humane poets, but they will also find in a surprising series of homages, elegies, rants, and autobiographical poems a new register of language in which time and mortality echo and reverberate in quieter notes. In 'West Shining Tree, ' we can hear this shift in register when he asks: 'I'll head dead West and ask of all I see: / Which is the way, the long or the short way, / to the West Shining Tree? ''--publisher.
