Days

by Gary Young

Poetry. "I was struck by the wisdom of this work, a quiet wisdom that inheres in images so fully imagined that one can never forget them. The language has been so thoroughly purified that truth becomes, in the telling, austerely beautiful. DAYS is one of those rare books that I will keep beside my bed table for years to come" -Jay Parini.
