Shorter lyric poems in the first two parts continue the satirical and often redemptive vision of his last collection, \u003cem\u003eEverything Is Burning\u003c\/em\u003e, while never failing to carve out new emotional territory. In the third part, a long poem called \"The Preacher,\" Stern takes the book of Ecclesiastes as a starting point for a meditation on loss, futility, and emptiness, represented here by the concept of a \"hole\" that resurfaces throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393337316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393337310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
