| Summary |
"A Stroll in the Rain both distills and expands a body of poetry compiled over some thirty-five years by showcasing the full range of George Bradley's compositional methods and abiding concerns. In his work, Bradley employs a wide variety of verse forms, both formal and free, and the selections in this volume accordingly encompass many different genres: lyric, prophetic utterance, meditative essay, elegy and ode, liturgy and dream, satire and send-up. Bradley moves back and forth between chatty, conversational pieces and those which are reserved and even enigmatic. Throughout, he achieves a tone that is genial, inclusive, and alert to the mutual sympathy between writer and reader upon which any successful poem depends. A Stroll in the Rain is deeply serious and moving, yet often humorous, too. This rich selection of masterful poems proves that there is no harm in having fun"-- Provided by publisher. |
