A Muse
?He winds through the party like wind, one of the just who live alone in black and white, bewilderedby the eden of his body. (You, you talk like winter rain.) He's the meaning of almost-morning walking home at five A.M., the difference a night makes turning over into day, simple birds staking claims on no sleep. Whatever they call those particular birds. He's the age of sensibility at seventeen, he isn't worththe time of afternoon it takes to write this down. He's the friend that lightning makes, raking the naked tree, thunder that waits for weeks to arrive; he's the certainty of torrents in September, harvest time and powerlines down for miles. He doesn't even know his name. In his body he's one with air, white as a skyrinsed with rain. It's cold there, it's hard to breathe, and drowning is somewhere to be after a month of drought."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Drawing from all six of his collections, The Selected Shepherd offers a new retrospective on the work of an important and sometimes controversial Black, gay poet. Although well known for his erotic poems about white men, Shepherd also wrote consistently about the natural world and its endangerment and his grief over his mothers death. Presented in both publication order and the order in which they originally appeared within each collection, these poems highlight the most important themes of Shepherds work, along with both his predictability and unpredictability as a poet. Jericho Browns introduction provides additional context and insight on the life and work of this complex, groundbreaking figure in American poetry. The selected works of the late poet Reginald Shepherd, edited by Jericho Brown Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
