The Essential Poems by Jim Harrison
The Essential Poems of Jim Harrison is distilled from nearly 1,000 poems that appeared in fourteen volumes–from visionary lyrics and meditative suites to shape-shifting ghazals and prose-poem letters. Teeming throughout these pages are Harrison’s legendary passions and appetites, his meditations, rages, and love-songs to the natural world. The New York Times concluded a review from early in Harrison’s career with a provocative quote: ‘This is poetry worth loving, hating, and fighting over, a subjective mirror of our American days and needs.’ That sentiment still holds true, as Jim Harrison’s essential poems continue to call for our fiercest attention.
