Glass Lunch

by Robert C. Hunter

A new collection of poetry from Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. With a metaphysician's flair for refiguring the world, Hunter reminds us with lyric irreverence and aphoristic wit that poems may be "like a laundry list, appended to a prayer", that "love is the apple, do not despair", and that "youth is an insupportable claim against gravity". Hunter's poetry is about living on the edge of your seat in the twentieth century.

Another gift from my sister. I have yet to read this but it seems interesting. Robert Hunter was the lyricist for the Grateful Dead, and has published a translation of Rilke's Duino Elegies.
