Prodigal: New and Selected Poems, 1976 to 2014 – A Prize-Winning American Poet's Work on Science and Art

In her first book of collected work, prize-winning poet Linda Gregerson mines nearly forty years of poetry, bringing us a full range of her talents.

Ten new poems introduce Prodigal, followed by fifty poems, culled from Gregerson's five collections, that range broadlyÂ in subject from class in America to our world's ravaged environment to the wonders of parenthood toÂ the intersection of science and art to the passion of the Roman gods, and beyond. This selection reinforces Gregersonâ€™s standing as â€œone of poetryâ€™s mavens . . . whose poetics seek truth through the precise apprehension of the beautiful while never denying the importance of rationalityâ€ (Chicago Tribune).Â
Â Â
A brilliant stylist,Â known for her formal experiments as well asÂ her perfected lines, Gregerson is a poet of great vision. Here, the growth of her art and the breadth of her interests offer a snapshot of a major poet's intellect in the midst of her career.
