Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Carolyn Kizer presents ten years of poetry in Harping On. Kizer's concerns have remained constant while she has honed her technical skills and broadened her vision. "She is all woman and all poet, and as a poet she is consummately skilled, literary, ebullient, and daring to the nth degree; she choirs it all out there: loves, passions, vanities, peeves, humor, parody — the whole gorgeous shebang". — Poetry Flash

Synopsis:

The first collection in ten years by one of the most respected and loved poets in American poetry.
