About this ebook
Finally, a selection of poems (including new poems) by Pulitzer-Prize winning Forrest Gander —“Life, death, and every minor phenomenon in between feels more vivid in Gander’s heartbreaking work” (Publishers Weekly (starred)). What is an ethical life? An erotic life? A life underpinned by awe? By grief? What is it to recognize oneself as comprised of others, human and not? What hasn’t this poet lavished his “gorgeous attention” on? Gathered from forty years of published books, the Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Forrest Gander’s Dune Lines offers such poignance— of tenderness, tragedy, phenomenological inquiry, and the almost sustaining particularities of love.
