Naomi Replansky Collected Poems

Produktbeskrivelse

The collected work of a poet who turned 102 years old in 2020. These poems, covering sixty years of a free woman's song, are Naomi Replansky's hymns to the struggle for justice and equality and to the enduring beauty of life in our dangerous world. Here at long last is the new and collected work by a writer hailed by George Oppen as "one of the most brilliant American poets." Replansky is a poet whose verse combines the compression of Emily Dickinson and the music of W. H. Auden. Naomi Replansky, a Bronx native, began to write poetry in her teens but published her first book when she was 34 in 1952. That collection, Ring Song dazzled critics with its candor and freshness of language. It was nominated for the National Book Award. Since Ring Song, Replansky has since published three additional collections and translated numerous works from German and Yiddish. This collection, Collected Poems is her life's work, won the Poetry Society of America's 2013 William Carlos Williams Award and was a finalist for the 2014 Poets' Prize.
