β¦ Synopsis
"This is poetry worth loving, hating, and fighting over."βThe New York Times Book Review
Here is the definitive collection of poetry from one of Americaβs best-loved writersβnow available in paperback. With the publication of this book, eight volumes of poetry were brought back into print, including the early nature-based lyrics ofPlain Song, the explosiveOutlyer & Ghazals, and the startling "correspondence" with a dead Russian poet inLetters to Yesenin. Also included is an introduction by Harrison, several previously uncollected poems, and "Geo-Bestiary," a 34-part paean to earthly passions.The Shape of the Journeyconfirms Jim Harrisonβs place among the most brilliant and essential poets writing today.
"Behind the words one always feels the presence of a passionate, exuberant man who is at the same time possessed of a quick, subtle intelligence and a deeply questioning attitude toward life. Harrison writes so winningly that one is simply content to be in the presence of a writer this vital, this large-spirited."βThe New York Times Book Review
"(An) untrammelled renegade geniusβ¦ hereβs a poet talking to you instead of around himself, while doing absolutely brilliant and outrageous things with language."βPublishers Weekly
"Readers can wander the woods of this collection for a lifetime and still be amazed at what they find."βBooklist(starred review.)
When the cloth edition of this book was first published, it immediately became one of Copper Canyon Pressβs all-time bestsellers. It was featured on Garrison KeillorβsWriterβs Almanac, became a finalist for theLos Angeles Times Book Prize, and was selected as one of the "Top-Ten Books of 1998" byBooklist.
Jim Harrisonis the author of dozens of books, includingLegends of the FallandIn Search of Small Gods. He has also written numerous screenplays and served as the food columnist forEsquiremagazine. He lives in Montana and Arizona.
Dead Deer
Amid pale green milkweed, wild clover,
a rotted deer
curled, shaglike,
after a winter so cold
the trees split open.
I think she couldn't keep up with
the others (they had no place
to go) and her food,
frozen grass and twigs,
