Metaphysical Dog: Poems von Frank Bidart

Good poems and, I suspect, powerful ones, but not ones written for me. Though they did make me sad. ...And it's been a while since I've had to look up a word every few pages: where has "velleity" been all my life?!

Half-light : collected poems 1965-2016 von Frank Bidart

After 700 pages, with this collection I’ve finally finished all the books on the National Book Award shortlist for poetry. This one won the award, but it is my least favorite of the five. While there were many poems here that I loved, I also found many, particularly the earlier poems, much less accessible than the contemporary poetry from the other collections on the shortlist.

Half Light von Frank Bidart

This is the best book of poetry I have ever read in my life. It follows the scope of Bidart's writing career from early on till the present. There are widely varied and unique poems - some short and some epic. I love the way he incorporates classical art and history into his longer works. The author must have a vast amount of knowledge on a plethora of subjects. The cover shows a sculpture by Cellini of Perseus holds the head of Medusa which figures significantly in one of his longer works. What is so wonderful is the consistent excellence of his verse. Bidart is truly an American treasure.… (mehr)

Desire von Frank Bidart

This has all the hallmarks of the work that came before it, as can be seen in the great "Borges and I." The second half of the book is comprised of the long poem "The Second Hour of the Night," which overall lacks the power and stunning voice of poems like "Herbert White" and "Ellen West." There are definitely great images and lines here, but if you are new to Bidart, start with In the Western Night.
