About This Item
New York : W.W. Norton, 1995. First Edition. Hardback. Fine cloth copy in a near-fine, very slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dw, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to the musician Otto Van Wassenaer and his wife. ; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 79 pages; Physical desc.: viii, 79 p ; 22 cm. Subjects: English poetry - American poetry - 20th century. Summary: The poems of Dark Fields of the Republic are a theater of voices: of men and women, the dead and the living, over time and across continents. Rich writes out of conversations actual and imaginary, actions taken for better or for worse, out of histories and songs, humdrum and terrible events, out of the most intimate loves and love for the world. Through these poems, she extends the poet's reach of witness and power of connection, and invites the reader-listener to participate.
