DJ has edgewear, shelfwear, and very slight bumping to corners. Book has edgewear, slightly bumped corners, and has a slightly cocked spine. Interior is clean & unmarked. NOT an ex-library copy. // 'This work of spiritual imagination appears seven years after Gjertrud Schnackenberg's second book, of which Nadine Gordimer wrote that it contains 'poems that move me in a way that I don't really think I have experienced since I first read Rilke at sixteen or seventeen'. A Gilded Lapse of Time is in three sections: the title sequence, surrounding a visit to Dante's tomb in Ravenna; 'Crux of Radiance', a series of poems exploring the making and unmaking of the image of God in scenes from the Passion narrative; and 'A Monument in Utopia', about the destruction of the Russian poet Osip Mandelstam at Stalin's hands. Setting legends of the Creation against history's record of catastrophe, setting acts of miraculous art-making against themes of God's world-making, these poems search out the relationship between poetry and history, the ways they haunt one another, and the guilt that poetry and history share in one another's unfolding. Her treatment of the themes of human and divine handiwork, of earthly and celestial love, of faith and refusal, of oblivion and remembrance, attains to an incandescent vision of the past as a realm that lies before rather than behind us.' -- publisher.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st ed. with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. Anna Peters title. "This crisp, cinematic mystery begins with the drowning death of matinee idol and champion swimmer Henry Brook while he is filming a much-publicized movie on an estate in upstate New York. Independence Mutual, issuers of a multimillion-dollar policy on the actor's life, suspect (read: hope) the death was suicide and hire PI and narrator Anna Peters to investigate how Brook met his end. Peters is disillusioned to discover that her favorite actor was a middle-aged playboy with an underage girlfriend and that his tenuous financial situation was held together by an ex-wife whom he insulted at every turn. Learning that Brook lived with both women, Peters speculates that he was too happy to have killed himself. She also learns that both women had motive and opportunity for murder. After a near-fatal attack on the estate manager who may have witnessed Brook's death and a vicious attack on Peters herself, the quick-witted PI, introduced in Law's Edgar-nominated The Big Payoff , uncovers more suspects and the means by which Brook was killed. The question of whether he was a victim of his own vanity or the object of a perfect homicide is resolved in a neat twist. Sophisticated and believable entertainment." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Book.
