The Gates Of The Elect Kingdom (Iowa Poetry Prize) by John Wood
English | Mar. 1, 1997 | ISBN: 0877455813 | 106 Pages | PDF | 1 MB
The four parts of this highly accomplished collection showcase the different facets and wide breadth of John Wood's poetic talent. Displayed here are his ability to sustain a sequence, his adeptness with lyricism and the short form, and his sensuous feeling for this life and the life of the past. In regard to the latter, Wood begins the book with his poetic account of the amazing life and adventures of the vigorous American utopianist Wilhelm Johannes Hoade.
