Taken together, the \u003cem\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e constituted the work of more than sixty years, spanning the period from 1950 to 2011-'all my adult life, ' as Totaro wrote in his foreword. Except that there was, and there is, more life to come, and with it a startling concentration of poems. In the thirteen years since his Collected Poems, Totaro has written as much poetry as he did in the sixty preceding years. This new book collates that remarkable yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn so doing, this book belies the preoccupation of many of the poems with infirmity and impermanence. However, for every presentiment of mortality or every shift of feeling towards resignation, there is a counterpoise, perhaps an observation or intuition or aphorism, or simply an expression of mood, which refreshes the poet's sensitivity to a vital spark. For all the eclecticism of this volume-Totaro's wit, the breadth of his intellectual interests and the variety of his expressive modes are undiminished-its chief motive is an insistence on life for life's sake. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paolo Totaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1764106814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781764106818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Recent Work Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Paolo Totaro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520089927935,"sku":"9781764106818","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45f744d1-d136-4f82-aecb-ae94d3b4355e.jpg?v=1778740682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tide-of-tides-paolo-totaro-9781764106818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
