New Poems
Synopsis
From the back cover:
"If one views Haines' poetic development as a journey from the specific geography of the Alaskan wilderness to the uncharted places of the spirit, then that journey is now complete."
-Dana Cioia from the Introduction.
"This is a magnificent book, bearing out what many of us have believed for years: that John Haines is a great poet. Thoughtful, lyrical, passionately serious, these poems represent a man in his wise maturity, giving full weight and measure to every line he utters." -Carolyn Kizer
"A fine book. Haines' vision cuts through to essentials - his stern yet exhilarating poems deserve to be widely read." -Frederick Morgan
