A Hermit's Guide to Home Economics (New Directions Poetry

A Hermit's Guide to Home Economics (New Directions Poetry Pamphlets)

Three medium-length poems by America's forgotten hermit poet and master of concrete minimalism.
Robert Laxâ‚¬s Hermitâ‚¬s Guide to Home Economics combines three long poems the poet composed on the Island of Patmos, where he lived a life separated from the rest of the world in the natural setting of that desert isle. Lax writes humorously about his â‚¬Å“hermitâ‚¬Â life, as if he were King Solomon doing a stand-up routine. But he also writes like a mystic whose surroundings speak to him, and uses the whole field of the page to explore the full potential of the word as image, and the poet as citizen.Â
