Beschreibung
"e;With The One Day, this is his best work, a modest, skeptical, and brave poetry that embodies something essential about this late American century."e; -Harvard ReviewThis is Donald Hall's most advanced work, extending his poetic reach even beyond his recent volumes. Conflict dominates this book, and conflict unites it. Hall takes poetry as an instrument for revelation, whether in an elegy for a (fictional) contemporary poet, or in the title series of poems, whose form imitates the first book of the Odes of Horace. The book's final section, "e;Extra Innings,"e; moves with poignancy to questions about the end of the game."e;A stunning volume of testamentary verse . . . an often perfect American blend of rue and buoyancy, narrative verve and grace."e; -The New Yorker"e;Donald Hall is our finest elegist. The Museum of Clear Ideas is as original, idiosyncratic, and un-museumlike a poetic work as we are likely to see for a long time to come."e; -Richard Tillinghast, The New Criterion"e;Hall's poems make 'durable relics' of late twentieth-century life in much the same way that Byron's Don Juan does for the early nineteenth. The 'clear ideas,' however, are timeless."e; -Beloit Poetry Journal"e;These are some of the darkest lines Donald Hall has ever composed. They move through aching poignancy through illness diagnosed, sorrow, and poignant revelation, yet the final chord is not one of despair."e; -Robert Taylor, Boston Globe"e;A collection of powerful new poems . . . Hall's voice is more mature and classically spare than ever, offering revelatory glimpses of wisdom."e; -Publishers Weekly"e;A brilliantly inventive tour de force . . . A significant and engaging book."e; -Library Journal
