Lifelines: Selected Poems 1950-1999

By Philip Booth

Book Overview

With an economy of line and focus on nature that has deep roots in the New England traditions of Thoreau and Robert Frost , Philip Booth writes poetry that evokes crystalline images of sea, woods, and fields and explores the timeless themes of love, uncertainty, and responsibility. With many of Booth's early works now out of print, Lifelines presents a unique opportunity to become reacquainted with one of the major voices in contemporary American poetry.
