Three Books - Body Rags; Mortal Acts, Mortal Words; The Past

Informationen zum Autor GALWAY KINNELL (1927–2014) was a MacArthur Fellow and state poet of Vermont. In 1982 his Selected Poems won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. For many years he was the Erich Maria Remarque Professor of Creative Writing at New York University, as well as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. For thirty-five years—from  The Book of Nightmares to Mortal Acts and, most recently,  Strong Is Your Hold —Galway Kinnell enriched American poetry, not only with his poems but also with his teaching and powerful public readings. Klappentext This volume brings together BODY RAGS and MORTAL ACTS, MORTAL WORDS and THE PAST, three books that are central to the life's work of one of the masters of contemporary poetry. Included here are many of Galway Kinnell's best-loved and most anthologized poems. Kinnell has revised some of the poems for this new edition, and comments on his working method in a prefatory note.
