Description
Book SynopsisA sly, companionable collection (The New York Times Book Review) that offers indispensable truths from a master of contemporary poetry
Trade Review"With these wise, late-life poems, Stephen Dunn has given us a new collection that shows us how ‘loving / is an achievement, a constancy of renewal.’" -- Margaret Gibson, author of Broken Cup
"For intelligence, soul, wit, honesty, and courage, so many of us cherish the work of Stephen Dunn. In our ruined nation and on our dying planet, we need his poems more than ever." -- David Huddle, author of Dream Sender
"Pagan Virtues is Stephen Dunn at his best—and Dunn’s best is about as good as it gets." -- —David Wojahn, author of Interrogation Palace
"Over a rich, long career dedicated to poetry, one of Dunn’s greatest honesties has been in refusing to look away from our dishonesties—both personal and political—and his new book is another wise study in the truths and half-truths we present to the world." -- Albert Goldbarth, author of The Kitchen Sink
