The sleepless body hammering a nail nails itself, hanging crucified.--from Catullus: Excrucior In Frank Bidart's collection of poems, the encounter with desire is the encounter with destiny. The first half contains some of Bidart's most luminous and intimate work-poems about the art of writing, Eros, and the desolations and mirror of history (in a spectacular narrative based on Tacitus). The second half of the book exts the overt lyricism of the opening section into even more ambitious territory-The Second Hour of the Night may be Bidart's most profound and complex meditation on the illusion of will, his most seductive dramatic poem to date. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesire\u003c\/i\u003e is a 1997 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Bidart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374525994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374525996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.29h x 5.50w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Boston Book Review - Winner","brand":"Frank Bidart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044855247103,"sku":"9780374525996","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66a398b2-5fe7-40c8-affe-48d629d1df8a.jpg?v=1684975297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/desire-frank-bidart-9780374525996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
