Bøger af Michael Burkard

The first collection of new poems by this brilliant, uncanny poet in ten years

Praise for Burkard's first poetry collection, In a White Light"Burkard's poetics will be considered new and strange to many readers, though Stevens, Zufosky, and Ashbery were scouts to this light-laden terrain. [His] book is a blessing."-James Cervantes

Written as a notebook, My Secret Boat is a collage of stories, poems, dreams, and sketches. Among Burkard's subjects are childhood, the sea, family, alcoholism, love.

Envelope of Night features an insightful foreword by the author and generous selections from five early books. This definitive volume is an essential record of the achievements of a major American writer and a dazzling litmus of the range of the poetic mind.
