A post-humous, autobiographical collection of poetry from John Updike, one of
the most celebrated American writers of the twentieth cenury and author of
modern classic novel Rabbit, Run
Updike had a boundless capacity for curiosity and delight. This collection of
poems from across his career displays his extraordinary range in form and
subject: from metaphysical epigrams, and lyrical odes to blank-verse sonnets, on
topics from Roman busts to Lucian Freud to postage stamps.
These poems are nimble and inventive, exploring art, science, popular culture,
foreign travel, erotic love, growth, decay and rebirth. Collected in
chronological order, from precocious undergraduate efforts to frequently
anthologized classics, this is an autobiography in verse for every Updike fan
and a celebration of twentieth century American life.
