- Synopsis
- From the back cover: "If one views Haines' poetic development as a journey from the specific geography of the Alaskan wilderness to the uncharted places of the spirit, then that journey is now complete." -Dana Cioia from the Introduction. "This is a magnificent book, bearing out what many of us have believed for years: that John Haines is a great poet. Thoughtful, lyrical, passionately serious, these poems represent a man in his wise maturity, giving full weight and measure to every line he utters." -Carolyn Kizer "A fine book. Haines' vision cuts through to essentials - his stern yet exhilarating poems deserve to be widely read." -Frederick Morgan NEW POEMS: 1980-88, winner of the 1990 Western States Book Award for poetry, is the tenth volume of verse by John Haines. A former recipient of an Alaska State council on the Arts Fellowship, an Ingram Merrill Foundation Grant, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, Haines has homesteaded in Alaska for more than a quarter of a century. For the last two years, he has served as a Guest Writer in Residence at Ohio University.
