Some Words

Rate this book
Poetry. The prolific and widely respected poet William Bronk, author of nearly two dozen celebrated books of poetry and prose, succeeds in making "actual terms," terms that actually fit neither objects nor experiences, completely relevant to "our lives in their daily reference," without losing sight of a certain gorgeous and concrete "mornings are beautiful."

"The brilliant fire of his poems, their blaze of ruthless thought and flawless music achieves the it forges a world out of the 'worldless.'"—Rosmarie Waldrop
