Starred Review from Booklist: ‘This robust volume is a testament to the fortitude of a great American poet’s work… [a] landmark collection.’
From the Introduction by Terry Tempest Williams: ‘Jim Harrison…was among the great ones—an elevated soul in all his unruliness who favored his senses and courted the wild on the page and in the world. His was a storied life that loomed large, and we are the beneficiaries. ‘Such a powerful wounded poet—wrote as if he had to sing with a cut throat . . . and he did have to sing, ‘ said Jorie Graham.’
Jim Harrison: Complete Poems is the definitive collection from one of America’s iconic writers. Introduced by activist and naturalist writer Terry Tempest Williams, this tour de force contains every poem Harrison published over his fifty-year career, as well as a section of previously unpublished ‘Last Poems.’ Here are the nature-based lyrics of his early work, the high-velocity ghazals, a harrowing prose-poem “correspondence” with a Russian suicide, the riverine suites, fearless meditations inspired by the Zen monk Crazy Cloud, and a joyous conversation in haiku-like gems with friend and fellow poet Ted Kooser. Weaving throughout these 1000 pages are Harrison’s legendary passions and appetites, his love songs and lamentations, and a clarion call to pay attention to the life you are actually living.
Jim Harrison: Complete Poems confirms that Jim Harrison is a talented storyteller with a penetrating eye for details, or as
Publishers Weeklycalled him, “an untrammeled renegade genius… a poet talking to you instead of around himself, while doing absolutely brilliant and outrageous things with language.”
NOTE:
Jim Harrison: Complete Poems also appears as a three-volume box set. Print run limited to 750 copies. Each volume is introduced by a different writer: Colum Mc Cann, Joy Williams, and John Freeman. The box set retails for $85 and ISBN is 9781556596414.
