Repair e-bog

The eighth book--and the most various yet--by a major American poet.With his two previous books, a generous Selected Poems and The Vigil, C. K. Williams received great acclaim, including the PEN/Voelcker Award and the prestigious Berlin Prize. Repair represents an extraordinary outpouring of nearly fifty new poems. His subjects, again, are love, death, secrets among intimates, the waywardness of thought, and the violence and metaphoric power of the natural world. A long poem about the sixties, "e;King,"e; broods over the mixed motives and misunderstandings of the period; the final poem defines, and in its way celebrates, the "e;invisible mending"e; of time and attentiveness to the thing itself. Here is a poet in full maturity, his mastery transforming everything he touches.Repair is a 1999 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry and the winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
