Peter Viereck's career in poetry is an ongoing experiment in the symbiosis of poetry and history. In Tide and Continuities that experiment has yielded its finest results. Included are many new poems, never before published, and stunning revisions from work as recent as his 1987 epic, Archer in the Marrow: The Applewood Cycles , and as early as his 1948 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, Terror and Decorum . This collection is the revelation of a great American poet. The Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky calls Viereck "possibly the greatest rhymer of / the modern period." This is Viereck's most lyrical, most passionate book; hence Brodsky rhymes "lyric" with "Viereck." Tide and Continuities marks Viereck's complete evolution as a poet, and brilliantly describes the arc of more than a half century's work.
