In Beauty Bright: Poems

“Gerald Stern is the most expansively celebratory poet in years. He is akin to a natural force.”―Georgia Review The lyric poems of In Beauty Bright, although marked by the same passion and swiftness as Gerald Stern’s previous work, move into an area of knowledge―even wisdom―that reflects a long life of writing, teaching, and activism. They are poems of grief and anger, but the music is delicate and moving. from “In Beauty Bright” In beauty-bright and such it was like Blake’s lily and though an angel he looked absurd dragging a lily out of a beauty-bright store wrapped in tissue with a petal drooping, nor was it useless―you who know it know how useful it is―and how he would be dead in a minute if he were to lose it though how do you lose a lily?
