Fiction Poetry
"David Ferry must have had something up his sleeve when he
called his book "Strangers," because his is a poetry of
intimacy and familiarity. More than that, Mr. Ferry's short,
sparse lyrics are as perfectly and simply composed as
Japanese haiku—a rare accomplishment in poetry written in
English."—Andy Brumer, New York Times Book Review "Strangers is a remarkably good book for a reader
sufficiently attentive to hear its quiet power, to let it
work in its distinctive way."—Boston Globe "The poems of David Ferry's Strangers are in fact one book,
and it is a splendid one. There is the same austere and
poignant voice throughout, asking the unanswerable things,
speaking of all that is withheld from us, confronting the
unknownness that dwells even in the familiar and dear.
Painful and touching, the book offers a distinctive vision
which is at the same time inescapably true."—Richard Wilbur
