Edward Hirsch’s poems are quick with a sense of life and the texture of everyday living. A rich, tender sense of family runs through this book as Hirsch puts down what he calls “memorandums of my affections.” He is a poet of many facets and great sophistication; the book also contains distinguished poems about Adler and Sullivan and architecture in Chicago and about the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe.
EDWARD HIRSCH, a MacArthur Fellow, has published nine previous books of poetry, including The Living Fire: New and Selected Poems and Gabriel: A Poem, a book-length elegy for his son. He has also published seven books of prose, among them How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry, a national best seller, and 100 Poems to Break Your Heart. He has received numerous prizes, including the National Book Critics Circle Award. A longtime teacher, at Wayne State University and in the Creative Writing Program at the University of Houston, Hirsch is now president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. He lives in Brooklyn. View titles by Edward Hirsch
