Hailed on its original publication as "eloquent testimony to the engaging power of art in a man's life" (Washington Post), this deeply moving memoir, long out of print, is reissued with an illuminating new afterword.
An analysis of the powerful role poetry can play in confronting, surviving and transcending pain and suffering. Gregory Orr draws on an array of sources, from Keats, Dickinson and Whitman to three-thousand-year-old Egyptian poems, Inuit songs, and Japanese love poems.
City of Salt, Gregory Orr's sixth book of poems, is largely autobiographical and presents moments of intense emotion which are anchored in clearly dramatized events. These are poems of elegy and celebration, and of occasions where the two modes fuse in acts of redemptive imagination.
