Crossing Borders presents the shorter work of acclaimed poet Peter Dale Scott. Scott--who can "achieve the quiet authority of the best later Williams" (London Times Literary Supplement) and who is renowned for his two epic, book-length poems Coming to Jakarta and Listening to the Candle--appears here on an inviting new scale. Whether considering nature, death, love, memory, or the classical Chinese masters, each of the fifty-six poems of Crossing Borders yields large pleasures within a small compass.
This selected volume presents new dimensions of a poet "capable of true invention," as Thom Gunn has remarked, "[and] of interest to all who read poetry"
