Tall Birds Stalking (Pitt Poetry Series)

This is the fourth collection by the Lamont Award winner Michael Van Walleghen. The title poem, about the death of the poet's father, sets the tone for the book. In poem after poem the experience of loss gives way to something paradoxically approaching its opposite, that lifting of the spirit we feel in the presence of exuberant formal invention, in the luminous order of metaphor and metaphysical insight.Van Walleghen, Michael is the author of 'Tall Birds Stalking (Pitt Poetry Series)' with ISBN 9780822937944 and ISBN 0822937948.
