Review "Robert Hazel has written poems that stand, not only apart, but high and alone." -Wendell Berry"I consider Robert Hazel to be one of the most important Southern poets writing today ... without parallel for evocation of life and passion... The honesty, breadth and depth of his insights amount to a sense of a total comprehension of the times." - David Ignatow"Instead of polishing the shoes of the American dream or shrieking at it, Hazel is rude to it. He dislikes the usual clean-shaven version of American history...." - Robert Bly"There is no poet of his generation to whom more has been given." - Allen Tate Details ISBN1939530156 Short Title Praise and Threnody Publisher Circling Rivers Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1939530156 ISBN-13 9781939530158 Format Paperback Subtitle Collected Poems Author Robert Hazel Imprint Circling Rivers Pages 216 Publication Date 2021-05-11 UK Release Date 2021-05-11 DEWEY 811.54 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
