Seller's Description:
As New in As New jacket. Book Cloth. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. As New. Minor rubs to cover. IN PRINT AT $22. This is an exuberant and bold series of poems from the author of Besieged, drawing on the Anglo-Jewish poet's transplanted life in the Catskill Mountains. Questions of exile and belonging figure prominently, as does the struggle to find a viable relationship with the natural world. In the chainsaw--the book's central image--all manner of human traits are reflected with an intense, often comical brilliance. "Who visited Eden after Adam and Eve had left? And did he recognize its overgrown acres as the first paradise? James Lasdun with his chainsaw--the English city boy transplanted to America's suburban wilderness--may be the man. In any case, he's written a thrilling book. It would be hard to name a poet since Robert Lowell who has so tellingly mined the language's grit and glory."--J.D. McClatchy Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall.
