Summary:

"Successor to James Wright and John Keats, with a marvelous ear for the music of contemplation."- Rita Dove In his new collection, Stanley Plumly confronts and celebrates mortality- in the detailed natural world, in the immediacy of the loss of friends, and in personal encounters. Archetypal, sometimes even allegorical, the poems in Old Heart amount to a sustained meditation. The American Academy of Arts and Letters declared of Plumly that "he has in the last thirty years quietly, steadily, expanded the range of lyric poetry in English...[and] reinvigorated our poetry." His ethical rigor and literary modesty combine in "Old Heart"- his finest book of poetry.
