<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A finalist for the National Book Award and winner of the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> Book Prize and the Paterson Poetry Prize.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this collection, Stanley Plumly confronts and celebrates mortality -- in the detailed natural world, in the immediacy of the loss of friends, and in personal encounters. Archetypal, sometimes even allegorical, the poems in <em>Old Heart</em> amount to a sustained meditation. The American Academy of Arts and Letters declared of Plumly that "he has in the last thirty years quietly, steadily, expanded the range of lyric poetry in English...[and] reinvigorated our poetry." His ethical rigor and literary modesty combine in <em>Old Heart -- </em>his finest book of poetry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[<em>Old Heart</em>] addresses, unsentimentally, the odd curtailments of age...a plain-spoken meditation and response that blends seamlessly the physical world and felt emotion.-- "Library Journal"<br><br>[<em>Old Heart</em>] contains the lifeblood of song as it defends the crucial endeavor to give each (re)collected moment its living, breathing name.-- "Georgia Review"<br><br>Few poets have sounded so often so comfortable at once with the recollections and strong emotions involved in autobiography, and with attention to a beautiful natural world.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>The interplay between words and reality, mortal imagination and the lasting world, shimmers in these poems.--Robert Pinsky "Washington Post"<br>
