内容简介：
Anthropoets is a tour de force collection that explores the range of American poetry - personal, meditative, lyrical, political and ultimately unforgettable. A man watching the sunset over a prairie suddenly realizes that he is looking into the past. A hunter encounters a madman who alters his perspective. A mother listening to a baseball game grieves for a lost son. A walk through Chicago's Art Institute becomes a meditation on the human condition before transforming into a litany on the creative impulse itself. These powerful poems and prose selections are textured with astonishing clarity, drawn from the writer's psyche, forged onto the page with painful honesty, but honed with a craftsman's eye.
