Wednesday: Selected Poems, 1966-1997 (Salmon Poetry)

New softcover. Bright and clean; free of marks or wear.

From Publisher:

Marvin Bell's reputation as one of our finest contemporary American poets is built upon a distinguished thirty-year publishing history of some fourteen books of poetry and essays. Wednesday is a perfect way to explore the development in Bell's poetry, from his earliest collections, such as Things We Dreamt We Died For and A Probable Volume of Dreams, to his more recent ones, Ardor: The Book of the Dead Man and Iris of Creation. His poems are often noted by reviewers for their originality, lucidity, variety, and eloquence. His writing has been called "ambitious without pretension", and Bell himself, "an insider who thinks like an outsider".

"Grass, let me sleep, but not on Wednesday, the pivot of all that is not the Sabbath, the fulcrum of our economy, the quickness of riches, day in between, a day more at hand than any other, and at its center neither ugly nor beautiful. With God at one end and love at the other, not on Wednesday".

From "An American Anthem"
