Description

"Last Lake," Reginald Gibbons s tenth book of poems, portrays human actions against the background of long spans of time. We hear the voices of gabbers, singers, lovers, and ghosts from diverse ends of the earth: veterans and victims of wars from ancient Greece and the ancient Central Asian steppes; soldiers from the Civil War, World War II, and Vietnam; militants in the Yosemite Valley and Texas; conservation activists from the vast lakes and rivers to our north; and, finally, our own fraught and noisy Chicago. In the course of these long narrative poems written in virtuoso lines and stanzas, characters step out of the continuum of human experience and sidle up to us, some even from realms accessible only in the imagination, to bridge the universal and abstract with personal, everyday tragedy and experience. The long poem, which occupies the second half of the book, enlarges the scope of American poetry by incorporating poetic effects and features into English more often found in Russian poetry." Last Lake" represents some of the best writing of a long, distinguished career in poetry and is a fine, innovative addition to Phoenix Poets."
