A collection of poems which capture the experience of solitude- by day or night, in the city or in the country, in waking or in dreams. There are contented reveries, expressions of loneliness & despair, reflections on mind & soul, & meditations recorded in the stillness of the night. Poets can be said to be the custodians of the interior life, & from Sappho`s ” Tonight I`ve watched” to Emily Dickinson`s ”I`m Nobody! Who are you?” & from Yeats`s communion with `the deep heart`s core` in ” The Lake Isle of Innisfree” to Bei Dao`s veneration of ” Ordinary Days”, some of the most indelible poems from every time & culture have grown out of the aloneness inherent in the poet`s art. & for readers who either seek or escape from solitude, all of the poets in this anthology
- from Sappho & Callimachus to Mark Strand & Richard Wilbur
- offer words to console & inspire. They remind us that in cultivating solitude we explore the limits of our imaginations & realize our mostprofound feelings & needs.
