by Jack Gilbert
Review:
I really enjoyed sifting through this collection of poems from Gilbert who is seventy-nine years old and still as young and fresh as ever. He has published four books; won the Yale Younger Poets Prize in 1962 for Views of Jeopardy; was nominated for a Pulitzer for that book and the next one, Monolithos, which appeared twenty years later; won Guggenheim and NEA fellowships and published a third book ten years later, The Great Fires. I came across an interviews with the poet from his home in Northampton, MA (NPR: Jack Gilbert: Notes from a Well-Observed Life) and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
