Here in paperback for the first time is the celebrated
eleventh book of poems by Galway Kinnell. The book's title derives
from Walt Whitman's "Last Invocation": "Strong is your hold O
mortal flesh, / Strong is your hold O love." In this striking
collection, Kinnell gives us poems of intermingling with the
natural world, love poems and evocations of sexuality, poems about
his father, his children, poet friends, poet heroes, and mythic
figures. Included also is "When the Towers Fell," his stunning
requiem for those who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. The
collection also affords the singular experience of hearing the poet
read his own work, with an extraordinary audio recording included
on CD.
