Selected poems: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Selected poems" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Harvey Shapiros precise, understated lyrics have garnered praise in the US, the UK, and in Israel. His early poems, hailed by The Nation as some of the best poems of our generation, were notable in part because they gave new form to Jewish immigrant experience. This collection presents the best work from Shapiros early books, including the classic poems Battle Report on World War II and National Cold Storage Company on the death of John Kennedy, and a wealth of new poems, more sensual, but no less wry. Shapiro sees life itself as a state of exile, and writes of the spaces where for a moment, the light holds.
