Too Bright to See / Alma: Poems($15.97Value)

Description

Linda Gregg's first two books - Too Bright to See & Alma - are, at long last, available again-this time in a single volume. In this book, we witness the awakening of one of the finest American poets of her generation. “ Too Bright to See is one of the most important first books of poetry to have come out in the last 25 years. Alma , first published in its own volume two years later, has become its necessary companion . . . It's a fine thing to have these two books back in the world, the visible world, bound together, lucid and legible as they are.” ― Lucie Brock-Broido “I consider Linda Gregg one of the best American poets, and I value the neatness of design in her poems, as well as the energy of each line.” ― Czeslaw Milosz “I have loved Linda Gregg's poems since I first read them. They are original in the way that really matters: they speak clearly of their source. They are inseparable from the surprising, unrolling, eventful, pure current of their language, and they convey at once the pain of individual loss, a steady and utterly personal radiance.” ― W. S. Merwin “The blinding intensity of Ms. Gregg's lines stains the reader's psyche the way lightning or heartbreak do.” ― Joseph Brodsky Linda Gregg has received numerous awards for her poetry, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Whiting Award. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker , The Paris Review , The Kenyon Review , and Atlantic Monthly . Used Book in Good Condition
