Description

Powerful, exquisite, and intricately crafted, this poetic memoir spans and reconfigures 30 years of an award-winning writers life. Ten years after beginning the project and more than 40 years after first recording information about the people, places, and events upon which the poems are based, this thoroughly unique project has taken on a life of its own, bent and reshaped by experience, time, and revision.

Reviews

""His Life" is a memoir that questions the genre itself, demonsrating the facile, trivial quality of mere biographical data when compared with the rich, complex, contradictory qualities of life." --"Quill & Quire"
