About the Book
2002 Lannan Award winner explores through poetry the "vertigo of solitude" as his family dissolves.Book Synopsis
2002 Lannan Award winner explores through poetry the "vertigo of solitude" as his family dissolves.Review Quotes
"Galvin's poems have the virtues of precise observation and original language, yes, but what he also brings to the table is a rigor of mind and firmness of phrasing which make the slightest of his poems an architectural pleasure."
"In James Galvin we have a superior poet."
"James Galvin has a voice and a world, perhaps the two most difficult things to achieve in poetry."
Something has to be true enough to be Taken for granted. In the hospital I saw An old man Caressing the face of an old woman. This same man, young, caressed her face In just that way. That's the stillness At the center of change-- A sadness worth dying for, I swear-- There is no other.
