Middle Distance: Poems Plumly Stanley
After a diagnosis of cancer, acclaimed poet Stanley Plumly found himself in the middle distance--looking back at his childhood and a rich lifetime of family and friends, while gazing into a future shaped by the press of mortality. The result is the moving culmination of a long career, a work of fearless, transcendent poems that face down the impending eternal voyage.Plumly populates this collection with tender depictions of poets, family, and friends--the relationships that sustained him throughout his life--as well as unflinching self-portraits. In Middle Distance, his final collection, he pushes onward into new territory with extended hybrid forms and revelatory prose pieces.
In "Night Pastorals," he writes In "White Rhino," for instance, he adopts the voice of the "last of [his] kind," using the rare creature as a canvas to depict the dying, aging poet himself.
