Early Collected Poems: 1965-1992
English
By (author): Gerald Stern
Early Collected Poems gathers the poems from the first six books of Gerald Sterns body of work. A master poet, Stern has sought new language for the overlooked, neglected, and unseen facets of human experience. Whether writing about modern poets, Hebrew prophets, death, war, or love, Sterns literary songs are sharp, surprising, and unerring in their delivery (Ploughshares, Editors Choice).
from The Red Coal
The coal has taken over, the red coal
is burning between us and we are at its mercy
as if a power is finally dominating
the two of us; as if were huddled up
watching the black smoke and the ashes;
as if knowledge is what we needed and now
we have that knowledge. Now we have that knowledge. See more
