by Allen Grossman (Author)
In addition to substantial new work, Allen Grossman in The Ether Dome and Other Poems New and Selected 1979-1991 gives his readers a retrospective of a life in poetry that has brought him such honors as a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Witter Bynner Prize of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and a MacArthur Fellowship. The Ether Dome is his seventh book of poems.

'A whole life, when it is written as a poem, ' says Allen Grossman, 'is like the whole of life.' The structure of his 'New and Selected' poems produces an encounter of the mind with the pasts it knows, while each successive future as it becomes present addresses hard questions to the unknowns crowding behind.
