About this title

Synopsis

Karl Shapiro, who won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1945 for his second collection, V-Letter and Other Poems, is an American poetic treasure and an acknowledged master of lyrical poetry whose subjects have ranged from commonplace objects and occurrences to biting political commentary to open celebrations of the contradictions in humanity's moral nature.

From the Publisher

Book Review from Publishers Weekly
"This selection reminds us that Karl Shapiro has for decades thought and felt honestly about poetry, history, society and family, and is a rewarding sampling of the work that thought has produced." -- Publishers Weekly
