Complaint: And Other Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798324360931)

In a poetic sequence recalling George Meredith's caustic Modern Love (1862), Jeffrey Burghauser again demonstrates the technical mastery that has placed him among the most admired figures in contemporary letters.

"Jeffrey Burghauser's poetry tackles the eternal questions with verbal, intellectual and emotional precision."
-Theodore Dalrymple

"I have really never come across a poet as consistently excellent as Burghauser. I bow to his genius, and, were I U.S. President, I should make him Poet Laureate."
-Alexander Waugh

"In The Heavy Lifting, Jeffrey Burghauser reveals a knowledge of and love for poetry that is simply astonishing in its range and depth. And his commitment to communicating his passion for verse and his skill at stirring the interests of readers --especially his target audience of boys and young men who are, perhaps, least likely to be receptive to what poetry has to offer them (intellectually, emotionally, spiritually) -- is truly admirable. This book will be invaluable for teachers of poetry and for all who are keen to learn and enjoy what it has to offer, not only in the classroom, but for life. Every page is an inspiration."
--Barry Spurr, Australia's first Professor of Poetry and Literary Editor of Quadrant.
