Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The eagerly awaited follow-up to his critically acclaimed collection The Daily Mirror, The Evening Sun gathers together 150 of David Lehman's favorite "daily poems" from 1999 and 2000 into a brilliant chronicle of a poet's heart and mind as the last century ends and a new one begins. Review:"Fun is the operative word here....It's slightly ironic that Lehman, general editor of The Best American Poetry annuals, might not find here a single poem worthy of inclusion, but the volume as a whole nevertheless delights. Recommended for most collections." Library Journal Review:"These page-or-less poems, while they can be formally quite refined, often come off as skilled but unambitious pastiches....Lehman's speaker affects a courtly, sometimes brash humor that most often reads like a disguise for a clinical indifference....Lehman's compulsive chronicle is at its best when his joke-machine is unfettered by self-reflection and he's got a few historical references to throw around..." Publishers Weekly About the AuthorDavid Lehman is on the core faculty of the graduate writing programs at Bennington College and The New School. He is the editor of The Best American Poetry series.
