River Inside the River: Poems

River Inside the River: Poems

â€œA striking meditation on artâ€™s free-standing place in the natural world.â€â€”Cortland Review

From the acclaimed American poet whose work the San Francisco Review called â€œmystical, carnal, reflective, wryâ€ come three gorgeous poetic sequences. In the first, â€œEden and After,â€ Gregory Orr retells the story of Adam and Eve. The second sequence, â€œThe City of Poetry,â€ evokes and explores a visionary metropolis where â€œevery poem is a house, and every house a poem.â€ The final sequence, â€œRiver Inside the River,â€ focuses on redemption through the mysterious power of language to resurrect the beloved and recover what is lost. River Inside the River combines Orrâ€™s characteristic spirituality and meditative lyricism with storytelling and myth-making. These are poems that will sustain, console, and give hope, from a poet at the height of his powers.
