In poems simultaneously ordinary and otherworldly, James Longenbach traces the life of a modern-day earthling as he looks squarely at his little patch of earth and at the vast emptiness of interstellar space. Beginning with the death of the earthling's mother and ending with a confrontation with his own mortality, the poems within Earthling resist complaint or agitation. In them, the real and the imagined, the material and the allegorical, intersect at shifting angles and provide fresh perspectives and lasting consolation."--Page [4] of cover. 505 00 $g IV. $t Pastoral. $t Complaint -- $t The crocodile -- $t The dishwasher -- $t Book three -- $g II. $t By the same author -- $t Silver swan -- $t Arcadia -- $t Earthling -- $t Petit maison -- $t Allegory -- $g III. $t Lyric knowledge -- $t Preface to an unwritten book -- $t Climate of reason -- $g IV. $t Huntington meadow -- $t The hummingbord -- $t The academy -- $t One last thing -- $t The harbor -- $t Pastoral. 650 0 $a Poetry. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116040158.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502011940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9B8145C370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
