Overview
Strand's poems occupy a place that exists between abstraction and the sensuous particulars of experience. It is a place created by a voice that moves with unerring ease between the commonplace and the sublime. The poems are filled with "the weather of leavetaking," but they are also unexpectedly funny. The erasure of self and the depredations of time are seen as sources of sorrow, but also as grounds for celebration. This is one of the difficult truths these poems dramatize with stoicism and wit.The book, The Continuous Life,: Poems [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9780679738442 in Paperback by Mark Strand may be ordered in bulk quantities.
