Description

This collection is the second book of poems by Anne Stevenson since her "Selected Poems". Two long poems for the heart of this collection: "From My Study" celebrates an ex-mining town in Durham, and a sequence of poems in "Visits to the Cemetary of the Long Alive" looks at the question of old age. She is also the author of "Correspondences" and "The Other House", as well as the biographer of Sylvia Plath.
