Jim Harrison: Collected Ghazals

Jim Harrison

This collection arrives from the spirit world buoyant, its rowdy soul intact. - Raul Nino, Booklist

gathers all of Harrisons’s published ghazals into a single volume, accompanied by an Afterword by poet and noted ghazal writer Denver Butson, who writes that with this collection, Harrison’s ghazals are ours to witness again in all their messy, brave, honest, grieving, lustful, longing humanity.

These are raucous, boozy, at times sexually explicit journeys beyond standard forms, often expressing a young poet’s exuberance. Harrison wills us to follow him: ‘When I slept in the woods I awoke before dawn / and drank brandy and listened to the birds until the moon / disappeared.’ Closing with an illuminating afterword by poet Denver Butson, this collection arrives from the spirit world buoyant, its rowdy soul intact. -Booklist
