Loosestrife: Poems
by Stephen Dunn
On This Page
Description
"Dunn's new poems are driven by the same tireless force that made his New and Selected Poems (1994) so powerful, but there is a new tone here, a deepening of his recognition of life's perversities."--Booklist.Tags

I was initially introduced to Stephen Dunn's work in a wonderful poetry anthology called Staying Alive. LOOSESTRIFE is my first collection of poetry by him and I highly recommend it! Dunn has a knack of making the most ordinary events profound because he understands the human heart. It's rare to find many favorites in a single volume, but that's the case here. Dunn's words ring true for me and even in ambiguity, his poems resonate.
