<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This collection is moving, emotionally raw, yet subtle and careful."--Benjamin S. Grossberg, <em>Antioch Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Part map, part travelogue, part chronicle, part autobiography, <em>Never-Ending Birds</em> explores a variety of landscapes from Midwestern villages to the boroughs of big cities. Steeped in story--divorce, loss, raising a child, uncovering old worlds and new loves--these poems are gracefully lived in, lived through, with mystery and beauty.<br /><br /> from "Never-Ending Birds" <br /><em>That's us pointing to the clouds. Those are clouds<br /> of birds, now we see, one whole cloud of birds.<br /> There we are, pointing out the car windows.<br /> October. Gray-blue-white olio of birds.<br /> Never-ending birds, you called the first time--<br /> years we say it, the three of us, any<br /> two of us, one of those just endearments.<br /> Apt clarities. Kiss on the lips of hope.</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book [is] sharper and stronger than the calmer poems that Baker has written before. . . . His poems show a life almost helplessly regretful, fortunate in obvious ways, yet excruciating in its limits.--Stephen Burt "The Believer"<br><br>Well observed, careful, and shot through with sadness, this eighth set of poems . . . is [Baker's] best.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br>
