Synopsis "Plundered Hearts: New and Selected Poems (in English)"
At last, a definitive selection of the elegant work by a poet at the forefront of American poetry for more than three decades.With his first several books, J. D. McClatchy established himself as a poet of urbanity, intellect, and prismatic emotion, in the tradition of James Merrill, W. H. Auden, and Elizabeth Bishopone who balances an exploration of the underworld of desire with a mastery of poetic form, and whose artistry reveals the riches and ruins of our plundered hearts. Now, opening with exquisite new poemsincluding the stunning My Hand Collection, a catalogue of art objects that steals up on the complexity of human touch, and a witty and profound poem entitled My Robotic Prostatectomythis selection is a glorious full tour of McClatchys career. It includes excerpts from the powerful book-length sequenceTen Commandments (1998) and his more recent works Hazmat (2002) andMercury Dressing (2009)books that explored the bodys melodrama, as well as the hearts treacheries, grievances, and boundless capacities. All of his poems present a sumptuous weave of impassioned thought and clear-sighted feeling. He has been rightly hailed as a poet of ferocious alertness, one who elicits (says The New Leader) the kind of wonder and joy we experience when the curtain comes down on a dazzling performance.From the Hardcover edition.
