Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 'A'-1st printing. 294pp. Bright & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition w/slight shelfwear scuffing to wraps, corners, edges, o/w unmarked. "Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry in 1979, HELLO, DARKNESS contains 134 poems, including four complet…e collections--Dying: An Introduction, Scattered Returns, Pursuit of Honor, and a posthumous collection of 38 poems never before published in book form--with an editor's preface by Peter Davison." [] "The publication of this volume is a major event in the history of recent American poetry; for in it L.E. Sissman emerges as a most interesting poet and surely the most undervalued of those who began their careers in the 1960's."--William Pritchard, London Times Literary Supplement. "He was not only an excellent poet, but also one of the most accessible poets of his generation. . . In Sissman's poetry, conventions are observed and decencies upheld. There is a powerful rage to live, but there is no private madness or personal violence, and no appeals to paranoia or the apocalypse. There is, however, a great deal of tender feeling, comic perception, mordant description, vivid character, dramatic incident, and tough-minded tuition, even in the face of death."--Hilton Kramer, New York Times Book Review. "In sum, the three volumes comprise, in a way rarely true of poetry since Browning, a world--dense, bustling, brimming with the utterly honorable quotidian truth of a Northeast-American professional man. In the posthumous poems we see--appalling spectacle!--this solid world drained, darkened, and blown away by death. What other poet has ever given such wry and unblinking witness to his own dying?"--John Updike. "What a relief it is to come upon a successful businessman who happens to be a poet who writes from the point of view of a poet who happens to be a successful businessman."--John Malcolm Brining. [back cover blurbs] VG 8vo paperback w/light foxing on text head & light wear on edges, o/w unmarked, square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
