218,95 kr. In his fifth book of poems, Timothy Liu addresses a tripartite ""Thee"": the Divine, the Beloved, and the State.

Schwarz, Slavitt addresses, invokes, or simply enjoys the civilization that has been the poet's true subject from the time of the wandering bards.

The wit, the toughness, the shining lyric clarity of the earlier books are still here, but they have been joined by a quiet understanding, a joyfulness, and an acceptance of things as they are that indicates the poet has moved into a new and exciting period.
