As Ever

This collection of <b>Joanne Kyger</b>'s work reveals her as one of the major experimenters hybridizers and visionaries of poetry. Kyger is a poet of place with a strong voice-delicate graceful and never wasteful; her poems explore themes of friendship love community and morality and draw on Native American myth as well as Asian religion and philosophy. Kyger's love for poetry manifests itself in a grander scheme of consciousness-expansion and lesson but always in the realm of the everyday. Edited with a foreword by Michael Rothenberg and with an introduction by poet David Meltzer this book is a marvelous overview of a wonderfully challenging and important poet.
