Description

Edited by John Beer. Wave Books (paperback, 2013)

Publisher Marketing: Poems (1962-1997) gathers thirty-five years of Robert Lax’s work, rarely published and largely composed in solitude on the island of Patmos. Compiled and edited by the poet’s former assistant John Beer, this selection reflects–through meditative sequences in striking vertical columns–Lax’s rigorous attention to the world around him and his relentless aspiration to new ways of writing.
