Description
Although best known for his fiction - including novels such as Little Casinos and Gold Fools - Sorrentino is also a distinguished poet. This volume reprints his Selected Poems 1958-1980 and includes 27 new poems and poem sequences published since 1980. Sorrentino's poetry is at once beautifully imagistic and filled with the magic of startling language. His works are precise and yet dazzlingly abstract; some use, to great effect, Oulipian devices. Satiric landscapes are alternated with brilliant recastings of older forms.
