XX [From the inner flaps] The fourth book, after a nine-year silence, from Stan Rice, whose third collection won the Academy of American Poets' Edgar Allan Poe Award acknowledging the continuing achievement of a poet under forty-five. SINGING YET provides an overview of Rice's work in generous selections from the three earlier books, together with a considerable body of new work that marks the poet's steady growth. Among the new poems: I Called the Cow I called the Cow/and she came to me,/black and brown, she bowed/her smooth blunt head, and said,/I am one of the dead,/who come and go like flowers,/who rarely speak your tongue,/and so you think us dumb/beasts, but we are not so,/we are trapped between death and life,/unable to want, or choose,/I have no dread, I have no name,/all my faces are the same/black or brown, with blaze,/I eat, I drink, I stand/in the shade of the one shade tree/and try, like fire, to think. XX Stan Rice was for many years associated with San Francisco State University, as Professor of English and Creative Writing, Assistant Director of The Poetry Center, and Chairman of the Creative Writing Department. In addition to the Edgar Allan Poe Award, he has received the Joseph Henry Jackson Award and a writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He now lives in New Orleans.
