Bidart, Frank
Desire: Poems
New York Farrar, Straus and Giroux 1999 0374525994 / 9780374525996 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
61 pp.; 21 cm. First published, 1997. Tight, clean copy. Dogeared a couple of times. Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry. "I hate and--love. The sleepless body hammering a nail nails itself, hanging crucified.--from 'Catullus: Excrucior'. In Frank Bidart's collection of poems, the encounter with desire is the encounter with destiny. The first half contains some of Bidart's most luminous and intimate work-poems about the art of writing, Eros, and the desolations and mirror of history (in a spectacular narrative based on Tacitus). The second half of the book exts the overt lyricism of the opening section into even more ambitious territory--'The Second Hour of the Night' may be Bidart's most profound and complex meditation on the illusion of will, his most seductive dramatic poem to date. / Frank Bidart's poems are collected in In the Western Night: Collected Poems 1965-90 (FSG, 1990). In 1998 he won the Bobbitt Prize and received a Lannan Literary Fellowship. He teaches at Wellesley College." - Publisher.
