Product Overview
This superb Pulitzer Prizewinning collection gives voice to failure with a wry, deft touch from one of this countrys most engaging and uncompromising poets. In Failure, Philip Schultz evokes the pleasures of family,marriage, beaches, and dogs; New York City in the 1970s; revolutions both interior and exterior; and the terrors of 9/11 with a compassion that demonstrates he is a master of the bittersweet and fierce, the wondrous and direct, and the brilliantly provocative. Filled with poems of heartbreaking tenderness that [go] beyond mere pity (Gerald Stern), Failure is a collection to savor from this major American poet.
