Fiction Poetry
Here in paperback for the first time is the celebrated
eleventh book of poems by Galway Kinnell. The book’s title
derives from Walt Whitman’s “Last Invocation”: “Strong is
your hold O mortal flesh, / Strong is your hold O love.” In
this striking collection, Kinnell gives us poems of
intermingling with the natural world, love poems and
evocations of sexuality, poems about his father, his
children, poet friends, poet heroes, and mythic figures.
Included also is “When the Towers Fell,” his stunning
requiem for those who died in the World Trade Center on
9/11. The collection also affords the singular experience of
hearing the poet read his own work, with an extraordinary
audio recording included on CD.
