Description
This volume contains Richardson’s collection, Interglacial, as well as a generous retrospective of his previous five, several of which have been out of print for years. Although his diction and musical ear are clearly contemporary and American, Richardson’s sensibility is both lyric—in the classical sense—and philosophical, bringing to mind poets as dissimilar as Wallace Stevens and the Romantics. He has been praised for his fierce and probing intelligence, his subtle and formally tensile music, and his inventive syntax—which Thomas Lux has described as “a gorgeous surge and pull in his sentences.” -- from publisher's website.
