Paperback. Condición: Good. Words, voices reek of the worlds from which they emerge: different worlds, each with its all but palpable aroma, its parameters, limitations, promise. Words-there is a gap, nonetheless always and forever, between words and the world- slip, slide, are imprecise, BLIND, perish. . Set up a situation,- . . . then reveal an abyss. For more than fifty years, Frank Bidart has given voice to the inner self, to the depths of his own psyche and the unforgettable characters that populate his poems.

Moving among the dead and the living, the figures of his life and of his past, Bidart calls reality forth-with nothing settled and nothing forgotten, we must speak. …
