Description
Praise for Gerald Stern: "The gratitude we feel toward Gerald Stern's work doesn't just have to do with his originality...Perhaps it's listening in amazement as he resurrects our histories for us to sing; perhaps it's how he finds the joy in our grief, the unexpected ecstasies inhabiting the mundane...Stern is one of those rare poetic souls who makes it almost impossible to remember what our world was like before his poetry came to exalt it."
- C. K. Williams "[Stern] is nostalgic, expansive, intellectual, silly, serious, homespun, highfalutin-sometimes all at once...His perspective, and his way of accessing religious, political, and literary history, have earned him a place among great American poets."
- Jewish Book Council "[Stern's is] a mind that dances, prances, leaps and falls, and leaps again, through all of Western culture and history, all of its cities, many of its composers and violinists, all of its thinkers, and all of its prophets-of whom he is one."
- Alicia Ostriker
