In Beauty Bright: Poems
English
By (author): Gerald Stern
The lyric poems of In Beauty Bright, although marked by the same passion and swiftness as Gerald Sterns previous work, move into an area of knowledgeeven wisdomthat reflects a long life of writing, teaching, and activism. They are poems of grief and anger, but the music is delicate and moving.
from In Beauty Bright:
In beauty-bright and such it was like Blakes
lily and though an angel he looked absurd
dragging a lily out of a beauty-bright store
wrapped in tissue with a petal drooping,
nor was it uselessyou who know it know
how useful it isand how he would be dead
in a minute if he were to lose it though
how do you lose a lily? See more
