Description

"Mona Van Duyn is now Poet Laureate of the United States. Her most recent book, Near Changes, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for 1991."--BOOK JACKET. "If It Be Not I collects and restores to print all of her work up to Near Changes, and includes all of the volumes that were part of Merciful Disguises (1973), as well as Letters from a Father (1982). It is published simultaneously with a new book of poems, Firefall."--BOOK JACKET. "Reviewing Near Changes in Poetry, Alfred Corn said, "During the past several decades Mona Van Duyn has assembled, in a language at once beautiful and exact, one of the most convincing bodies of work in our poetry, a poetry that explores, as Stevens put it, '. . . the metaphysical changes that occur, / Merely in living as and where we live.'""--BOOK JACKET.
