In <i>Against Silence</i>, the Pulitzer Prize winner's eleventh collection of poetry, Bidart writes of the cycles we cannot escape and the feelings we cannot forget. Our history is not a tabula rasa but a repeating, refining story of love and hate, of words spoken and old cruelties enacted. Moving among the dead and the living, the figures of his life and of his past, Bidart calls reality forth--with nothing settled and nothing forgotten, we must speak.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Frank Bidart is a gift--we are lucky to have had him writing poetry for a half century. <i>Against Silence</i> is his eleventh collection, and continues his lifelong navigation of the uncertain spaces between haunting and love, and the fertile gap between words and the world. --Jonny Diamond, <i><b>Lit Hub</b></i> <p/>Another memorable contribution to Bidart's oeuvre. --<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Frank Bidart </b>is the author of eleven collections of poetry, including <i>Metaphysical Dog, Watching the Spring Festival, Star Dust, Desire</i>, and<i> In the Western Night: Collected Poems 1965-1990</i>.
