ISBN (paperback): 1932870008 About the Book Jackson’s Petrarch poems are richly textured, idiomatic, elegiac, plangent, and personal.
– Stanley Plumly This remarkable series, athletic in its passion, sonorous and brave, reconfirms that love dines on both a lover’s heart and brain, and that the mortality of love encompasses the world. It also reminds us by its example that literature is a grand conversation spanning centuries and cultures. Petrarch is the spark, but Jackson’s the one on fire. – Marvin Bell About the Author Richard Jackson is the author of seven books of poems, including Heartwall which won the 2000 Juniper Prize. A professor of English at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, he has won Guggenheim, Fulbright, NEA, Witter-Bynner and NEH Fellowships, as well as the Slovene Order of Freedom Medal for his literary and humanitarian work in the Balkans. |
