Address Book Poems

The Address Bookis a collection of beautifully crafted poems of love and loss. They are united by bitter complaint and grief, feelings that are only fought off by music and intelligence. Elegiac, angry, tender, and brazenly heart-felt, the poems achieve their effect through total immersion in the rich palette of human emotions, and a willingness to tap into "This whim / against what drifts to dark." The book's second half includes Heighton's versions of Western poetry's sustaining giants, including Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Sappho, Catullus, Homer, and Rilke.Heighton, Steven is the author of 'Address Book Poems' with ISBN 9780887846984 and ISBN 088784698X.
