Description:
In paperback for the first time, New Addresses -- a finalist for the 2000 National Book Award in Poetry -- is a series of poetic apostrophes in which the author directly addresses ideas, objects, and past events that have been important to him, such as "Breath", "The French Language", and "My Twenties". These witty, exuberant poems together form a "startlingly original lyric memoir" in which there is a "dimension of pathos and joy rare in the poetry of any era" (NBA citation).
