A Tall, Serious Girl: Selected Poems 1957-2000

Poetry. This new collection of poems from George Stanley includes his acclaimed "White Matches" and "Paradise Shelter" as well as other selections spanning his remarkable oeuvre. "From the first, George Stanley was one of those great natural talents of whom all other poets are jealous. There is an ease and deftness to his line, his sense of tone, the acuity of his vision that is so constantly on target as to be eerie"—Ron Silliman.
