商品簡介
A consummate poet, Jane Gentry Vance (1941--2014) possessed an uncanny ability to spin quietly expansive and wise verses from small details, objects, and remembered moments. Her poetry is deeply rooted in place, exuding a strong connection to the life and land of her native Kentucky. Gentry was also a beloved and influential teacher. She served as a mentor to generations of young writers and worked tirelessly to promote new voices.
Gentry and her daughters collaborated with editor Julia Johnson to organize this definitive collection. The result is an important assembly of Gentry's most celebrated poems alongside new, previously unpublished works. Johnson uses Gentry's own methodology to organize the book, showcasing the range of the poet's work and the flexibility of her style -- sometimes ironic and humorous; sometimes poignant; but always clear, intelligent, and revelatory.
This volume includes two previously published full-length collections of poetry in their entirety -- A Garden in Kentucky and Portrait of the Artist as a White Pig. The final section includes Gentry's unpublished work, from verses written for loved ones to a large group of recent poems that may have been intended for future collections. Alternately startling and heart-wrenching, The New and Collected Poetry of Jane Gentry offers a valuable retrospective of the celebrated poet's work.
