The Shape of the Journey: New & Collected Poems by Jim Harrison

Overview: "This is poetry worth loving, hating, and fighting over."—The New York Times Book Review
Jim Harrison is best known for his novels and essays, but in the introduction to ”The Shape of the Journey: New and Collected Poems” he maintains that poetry ”is the portion of my life that means the most to me.” In fact, Harrison has published nearly as many books of poetry as prose, from the youthfully expansive ”Plain Song” (1965) to the Zen-inflected ”After Ikkyu” (1996). This large collection, which also includes a new grab bag of nature verse and prose poems called ”Geo-Bestiary,” has a meandering feel, although Harrison’s concerns — aging, women, eating and drinking, hunting, the craft of writing and above all the spirit and rhythms of the natural world — are remarkably constant, as are his intentions.
From visionary lyrics and meditative suites to poems inspired by Russian suicides and scandalous Zen monks, Jim Harrison amply demonstrates why Booklist named The Shape of the Journey a "Top Ten Book of the Year." He is clearly one of our masters.
This volume provides a sweeping review, including Harrison’s out-of-print work from eight previous books, together with a major suite of new poems.
