Book Synopsis
Offers the first full-length study of Larry Eigner's poetry, covering his entire career from the beginning of his mature work in the 1950s to his last poems of the 1990s. George Hart charts where Eigner's two central interests intersect, and how their interaction fueled his work as a poet-critic.

Trade Review
“George Hart’s Finding the Weight of Things stresses the poet Larry Eigner’s longstanding interest in ecology and environmental politics, not only as subject matter for his poems but as coextensive with his particular embodiment. Not only did Eigner live as a differently abled person, he wrote from within an awareness of a threatened and vulnerable globe. Hart’s masterful application of ecocriticism and disability theory makes this a vital and important contribution to Eigner’s work, specifically, and postwar poetics generally.”—Michael Davidson, author of Invalid Modernism: Disability and the Missing Body of the Aesthetic
