"A collection of all of the poet Mark Strand's previously published poems"--
Mark Strand Boeken
Mark Strand was een Amerikaanse dichter en essayist wiens werk wordt gekenmerkt door melancholische introspectie en een verkenning van het alledaagse bestaan. In zijn poëzie ving hij meesterlijk gevoelens van vervreemding, vergankelijkheid en de stille absurditeit van het leven. Zijn stijl wordt vaak omschreven als droog, direct en onverwacht geestig, terwijl het toch diep menselijke thema's aansnijdt. Strands literaire nalatenschap ligt in zijn vermogen om schijnbaar alledaagse momenten te transformeren in poëtische meditaties over de aard van onze realiteit.
