Bird Lands, River Nights and Other Melancholies
In stock
Paradox, reverie, and quiet irony thread through the landscapes of birds, rivers, and other small melancholies in this debut collection. The poems meditate on mortality and the passage of time in a voice at once amazed by the cosmos and saddened by human impulses toward demolition — work that earned the UP Centennial poetry prize and a National Book Award nomination.
