Paperback. A History is an elegiac 10-poem sequence, written about and in memory of Jill Robinson, a vital and continual presence in the poets life for almost seven decades, until her death from cancer in 2018. Burts eye is acute, unsentimental, and self-critical, unflinching in its depiction of illness, and unrequited love. His language has a Yeatsian severity, charged by vulnerability and an acute and expansive historical awareness.Published to coincide with his personal-political memoir Every Wrong Direction (Carcanet), A History is a major work from a writer whose life story and poetic sensibility takes us to places not often captured in poetry. A pamphlet-length elegy from renowned poet Dan Burt, published in partnership with Carcanet and PN Review. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
