of Stephen Dunn
Description
"Good poems are triumphs over the unlikely," Stephen Dunn says. "They make us pay attention in new ways." In his second new and selected collection, Dunn subtly enlarges our sense of possibility. His new poems, suffused with affection and rue for our world, occasionally address the metaphysical, as in these linesâfrom âTalk to GodâEase into your misgivingsAsk him if in his weaknesshe was ever responsiblefor a pettinessâsome weather, say,brought in to show whoâs bosswhen no one seemed sufficiently movedby a sunset or the shape of an egg.Ask him if when he gave us desirehe had underestimated its power.
