Summary: Sublime Poems of the Earth and of the Spirit
Comment: Edward Hirsch has penned a magnificent collection of poems, grounded in the earth, but also searching the sky, concepts of spirituality, language itself, and the deepest human feelings, for some kind of resolution. Hirsch finds this resolution, however tenuous and fragile it may be, and so does the reader.

"Summer Surprised Us" is a poem about how glorious the experience of summer is, even when we don't recognize it consciously at the time. The language is startling and re-juvenating.

"At the Grave of Wallace Stevens" is a sheer masterpiece, so alive with empathy and resonance, that it leaves the reader reverberating, literally.

This book is a masterpiece, and I recommend it to everybody.
