As he entered the middle period of his career, with volumes such as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Continuous Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1990), Strand was already well-known for his ability to capture the subtle music of consciousness, and for creating painterly physical landscapes that could answer to the inner self: “And here the dark infinitive to feel, \/ Which would endure and have the earth be still \/ And the star-strewn night pour down the mountains \/ Into the hissing fields and silent towns.” In his later work, from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlizzard of One\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(1998) which won the Pulitzer Prize, through the sly, provocative riddles of his recent \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlmost Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2012), Strand has delighted in reminding us that there is no poet quite like him for a dose of dark wit that turns out to be deep wisdom and self-deprecation. He has given voice to our collective imagination with a grandeur and comic honesty worthy of his great Knopf forebear Wallace Stevens. With this volume, we celebrate his canonical work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mark strand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47943128023281,"sku":"9780804170857","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8455\/9857\/files\/wc_moonlightbookclub_markstrandcollectedpoems_01.jpg?v=1774015126","url":"https:\/\/moonlightartscollective.com\/en-ca\/products\/collected-poems-of-mark-strand-by-mark-strand","provider":"Moonlight Arts Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
