An indispensable volume. Ron Charles, Washington Post Book ClubA radiant celebration of Pulitzer Prizewinning poet Stephen Dunns enduring oeuvre.Hailed as "e;indispensable"e; (David Wojahn), Pulitzer Prizewinning poet Stephen Dunn masterfully shifts between the metaphysical and the ironic, never wavering in his essential honesty. His graceful poems confront our contradictions with tenderness and wit, enliven the ordinary with penetrating observation, and alert us to the haunting wonders and relationships that surround us.The Not Yet Fallen World draws from all nineteen of Stephen Dunns crystalline volumes, including his most recent, Pagan Virtues (2019); the National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Loosestrife (1996); and the Pulitzer Prizewinning Different Hours (2000). By turns sardonic and profound, Dunn examines the disguises we don to hide from ourselves and reveals sublime beauty hidden within seemingly mundane interactions. Nine new poems extend the poets inquiry into the paradoxes of contemporary life; as he writes in "e;Love Poem Near the End of the World,"e; "e;Something keeps me holding on / to a future I didnt think possible."e;Arranged to further Dunns signature themesmortality, morality, and the roles we play in the essential human comedy of getting through each daythis final collection captures the breadth of an acclaimed poets achievement. His legacy is a poetic expanse suffused with fearless generosity and perceptive wisdom.
