Lost in the Z's?

For readers tired of the first-person lyric so popular in our day, read Paul Zimmer, who must share this ennui. Through his career, Zimmer has been one of our finest Persona poets and one of our best Character poets, in the tradition of Edwin Arlington Robinson. Here, collected for the first time, are his wonderful Zimmer poems, his many poems celebrating eccentric characters, and his fine traditional nature lyrics (which don't neglect the dark side of nature as well). Richly humorous in some poems, moving in others (a fine writer of love poetry), you'll laugh richly and feel deeply with this end-of-the-alphabet poet, among our finest.
