Everything Is Burning: Poems

Gerald Stern

Gerald Stern calls upon his own life as a ground for his poems. Showing a horror of lies, treachery, and war, he offers redemption through stark language and plain speech. His poems have an unerring, comic, relentless tone, never didactic, always surprising and rich in metaphor.
