David Ferry's Of No Country I Know: New and Selected Poems
and Translations provides a wonderful gathering of the work
of one of the great American poetic voices of the twentieth
century. It brings together his new poems and translations,
collected here for the first time; his books Strangers and
Dwelling Places in their entirety; selections from his first
book, On the Way to the Island; and selections from his
celebrated translations of the Babylonian epic Gilgamesh,
the Odes of Horace, and of Virgil's Eclogues. This is
Ferry's fullest and most resonant book, demonstrating the
depth and breadth of forty years of a life in poetry.
