More About This Book

Overview

Robert Kelly's long project in verse, filling nearly 40 collections, has shown him a master of intellectual energy, kinetic power and primal apprehension, with a range of interest and symbolic resonance as extensive and diverse as any contemporary poet's.

This is writing that jump-starts not only the cerebrum, nerves and senses but the feeling heart: a poetry of key moments, necessary rituals, inevitable passages, recurrent beginnings and ends.
