Description

In this major new collection, John Hollander displays the elegance, versatility, and wit that mark him as perhaps the most urbane poet in America. "In Time and Place" features a generous offering of new verse, an extended prose piece, and a series of prose poems previously available only in a rare, privately published edition. The tightly rhymed quatrains of the new poems demonstrate once again the freedom Hollander achieves through mastery of form. The consummate control with which he writes in memoriam to a lost love and a time of absence gives him opportunities to move through dimensions most poets never see. His purgatorial mock-journal-dwelling on loss and gain, on difference and effacement, on places and the place of writing-leads into a sequence of captivating prose poems, where imagination centers on the word and language celebrates its own creation.

Author Biography:

In addition to In Time and Place, his previous books of poetry include Blue Wine and Other Poems, Reflections on Espionage, Tales Told of the Fathers, and The Night Mirror. He is a professor of English at Yale University.
