From the Still Empty Grave: Collected Poems

Beschreibung

Poetry, to Wilber Stevens, is a way of seeing things, of focusing our attention on the awesome dimensions of being alive. In this masterful collection of recent and older poems, Stevens explores the connections between place and experience, life and death, and the quotidian worlds of work, pain, and loss.

Autor

Wilber Stevens (1921-1996) is considered one of Nevada's finest and most influential poets. His poetry goes to places even the most unfamiliar reader understands: the late-night desperation seen in city faces and long laments on the slowly disappearing western landscape. He was respected as a poet, editor, scholar and professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He served as Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association in 1972. He was the founding editor of Interim, a poetry and fiction journal, and a long-time drama critic for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
