Product Description:
Galway Kinnell's twelfth book of poems is powerful and thrilling. Imperfect Thirst includes beautiful love poems and approaches elemental subjects with a remarkable balance of good nature and holy dread: recollections of childhood, snapshots of impassive cruelty, reflections on art and nature. This energetic collection will prove once again why Galway Kinnell is one of America's masters of the art.

Rating: - Compelling
Something about Galway Kinnell makes you see death for what it is and find peace in that acceptance. His poems characterize the modern push for speed and excess as a search for stillness or contentment. I love the collection.
Rating: - Where is everyone?
Was there some kind of electronic mishap which erased all the reviews for this elegant and beguiling book of poems? Or is it possible that I, a mere plodding pedestrian, who approached the world of poetry with deliberate reserve, could be the first person to review this book which has been around since 1994? Tell me it is not possible that no other soul out there in deepest Amazonia has been touched by this wonderful work.
