Jim Dodge

Rain on the River

Buch

This diverse, savvy, passionate selection of poems by novelist Jim Dodge contains lyric epigrams that go straight to the non-dualist bedrock, backwoods workers' dharma-combat humour, loving poems for wife and son, several high-spirited and near-transcendent poems of truth, sex and insight, some profound comments on dogs and salmon, a few vivid and pithy little prose pieces, and much else that defies description. His wide-ranging work is refined and accomplished with a sly sort of off-handedness. Poetry should be a pleasure, and Jim Dodge's work is just that: anyone who picks up this book has a treat in store.Gary Snyder
