Description

This book by Gerald Hausman marks the author's third book of poems since New Marlboro State which Gary Snyder called "fine poems, clear and inside / outside of things." The theme of Runners is not the mere physical act of long-distance running, but the art of direction-finding in life. Using this as a metaphor the poet explores the heart of the four universal directions while running through the four compass points of the American landscape. Whether he is up north in a New England blizzard or jogging along the Mississippi, Gerald Hausman invests his work with that peculiar insight common to poets of place: scenes enchant by evoking permanence through a re-calling of history and the heart, legend and the mystery of the moment.

Author Biography:

Richard Wilbur on Runners: "Runners is full of such engaging poems as 'Porches, ' 'Wood for Winter, ' and 'Witnesses.' In other places such as 'The Fallen' or 'Goat Castle, Natchez, ' there is some deftly conveyed frisson. And then there are admirable poems ('Ravens, ' 'Heron and Trout, ' 'Ending Up in Horse Creek Canyon') which are informed by a large and deep sense of participation in the whole of life. Gerald Hausman has put together a strong, subtle and varied collection."
