ISBN: 9780375413650 - The Fall: Poems (10 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. In this elegant collection, D. Nurkse elegizes a lost father, a foreshortened childhood, and a young marriage.

As the diversions of childhood prefigure the heartbreak of adulthood, Nurkse captures the exquisite sadness of each small fall that carries us further from our early innocence. In the book's final section, the poet turns to face mortality with a series of stirring poems about illness in midlife. Throughout, Nurkse celebrates the sheer strangeness of our perceptions in a language that is both astute and surpassingly lyrical. From the Hardcover edition.…
