Description

Selected by Peter Davison with an introduction by Edward Hirsch. Sissman was a true phenomenon in American poetry. He published his first book, a collection of antic, autobiographical episodes in blank verse, in 1968. Eight years and three books later, he died of Hodgkin’s disease at the age of forty-eight. Of Sissman’s remarkable final poems John Updike wrote, “What other poet had ever given such wry and unblinking witness to his own dying? His poetry gave back to life more generously than he had received, and carried his beautiful wit into darkness undimmed.” Now Sissman’s longtime editor, Peter Davison, has selected from his lifework the essential poems–the essence of an American original.
