Synopsis
Cultural Writing. Peter Riley is the author of over two dozen books of poetry, including DISTANT POINTS and SNOW HAS SETTLED [.] BURY ME HERE. His work is grounded on a deep knowledge both of the modernist poetries of the present and of the literatures of past centuries, and it reflects the author's knowledge of other languages, his travels, and his interests in archaeology, geology and music. Its voice often meditative but always urgent, Riley's poetry is both uncategorizable and of the highest distinction. This collection is the first substantial critical consideration of Riley's work. Inside are an interview with the poet, poetry, thirteen essays on his work, and a bibliography.
