D. Reeve, winner of the Golden Rose for lifelong poetic achievement. Reeve is a thinking-person's poet-meditative, weaving memories, mythic figures, personal reflections, and natural observances to arrive at larger truths. The short poems range from the elegiac \"Village Graveyard\" and philosophical \"Coasting,\" a poem of almost perfect proportions, to such love poems as \"Voices,\" and the witty \"Telephone.\" Some of the poems express the sadness of irrecoverable loss; some the inevitability; and some rejoice in consequent rebirth and renewal. Repeatedly, throughout the book, the past is brought up against the present, this world against the next, the particular against the general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032049697008,"sku":"9780870135149","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780870135149_p0.jpg?v=1763835896","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780870135149","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
