The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write: Poems by Gregory Orr (English) Paperback B

Description: The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write by Gregory Orr A "master of the lyric poem" (Paris Review) at the top of his form writes indelibly of grief and love. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this moving, playful, and deeply philosophical volume, acclaimed poet Gregory Orr returns with a passionate exploration of the forces that shape us. Slipping effortlessly from personal trauma (?Song of What Happens?) to public catastrophe (?Charlottesville Elegy?), Orr seeks innovative ways for the imagination to respond to and create meaning out of painful experiences, while at the same time rejoicing in love and language. The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write confirms Orrs place among the preeminent lyric poets of his generation, engaging the deepest existential issues with wisdom and humor and transforming them into celebratory song. Author Biography Gregory Orr has written twelve poetry collections, a memoir, and several books of criticism, most recently A Primer for Poets and Readers of Poetry. The recipient of Fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, he lives in Charlottesville, Virginia. Review The crystalized, perfectly-clear articulations of grief that begin the collection ring through it, though, making it impossible to read even the simplest lyric in The Last Love Poem I Will Ever Write as light.--Katie Berta "Ploughshares" Review Quote "Verse of astonishing verbal clarity--no polysyllabic scientific and philosophical trade vocabulary for Orr--and virtually invisible but adamantine technique.... This is the work of one of our best poets."
