About this title

Synopsis

Selected & New Pomes marks Jim Harrison's return to the world of poetry after a seven-year hiatus, a self-imposed exile caused by his exhaustion after writing Letters to Yesenin and Returning to Earth (both included in their entirety in this volume). During this period Harrison wrote Legends of the Fall - a collection of novellas - and two Farmer and Warlock . He evolved a new approach to his poetry, hoping to avoid both academic formalism and vogue of hygienic confessions. The voice of the selected poems speaks with the courage, intelligence, and wit that is Harrison's alone.
