Reasons for Moving, Darker & the Sargentville Not: Poems

Select Condition 
Book Overview
Reasons for Moving was Mark Strand's first book, and on its publication in 1968 Donald Justice called him "maybe the very best of the new poets." Darker followed, and Robert Penn Warren said, "the moment is always exciting when a true poet finds the secret self that is the wellspring of his inspiration." And Harold Bloom wrote, "these poems instantly touch a universal anguish as no confessional poems can, for Strand has the fortune of writing naturally and almost simply (though this must he supreme artifice) out of the involuntary near solipsism that always marks a central poetic imagination in America." These key books in the career of a recent Poet Laureate of the United States are now reissued in one volume together with a private-press book of aphorisms dating from the same time. An essential book for a full understanding of one of our major poets. Color woodcut, Night Scene, by Neil Welliver. Courtesy of the artist.

Profound Poems of the Self
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
DARKER and REASONS FOR MOVING each contain many poems which go very deep into the Self. I respectfully submit that, although the poems as a body did not speak to the other reviewer Skag, very, very few of them are "mediocre."
