<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>In the Western Night</i> brings together in one volume all of the poems to date, including many previously unpublished poems, of one of the most exciting and gifted poets writing today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>In the Western Night</i>" establishes Frank Bidart's place among this century's most emotionally articular poets. His fine earlier books, published between 1973 and 1983, are here, surroudned by a selection of equally impressive newer pieces. Taken together, they constitute a hauntingly raw voice that finds itself through an exhilarating array of prosodic techniques. More than most of his post-confessional contemporaries, Bidart is unafraid of passion, and willing to harness his passion to words and structures...His voice, and the voices in his dramatic monologues, are unrelentingly curious and honest; and yet they inevitably back up against the greatest of mysteries." --<i>Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe</i></p><p>"In the supreme poems, Bidart's spiritual force makes me...yield to the authority of the voice. "Ellen West" is a heartbreaking act of sympathy." --<i>Denis Donoghue, The New Republic</i></p><p>"Achieves a grandeur of vision few poets nowadays can match." --<i>Alan Shapiro, Chicago Tribune</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Frank Bidart</b>'s collections of poetry include <i>Star Dust </i>(FSG, 2005), <i>Desire </i>(FSG, 1997), and <i>In the Western Night: Collected Poems 1965-90 </i>(FSG, 1990). He has won many prizes, including the 2007 Bollingen Prize in American Poetry.</p>
