Summary
In this collection of new and selected poems, Stanley Plumly moves from the pastoral to the familial, from the mundane to the transcendent. Melodic and firmly rooted in nature, Plumly's Now That My Father Lies Down Beside Me deepens and sharpens the themes of his previous work. The result is a musical, multifaceted, and deeply moving series of poems -- a panoramic view of 30 years of poetic inquiry. Plumly has never been afraid to engage time-honored objects of beauty in their fresh particularity. What he discovers in these images has made him one of our strongest and most memorable lyricists and places his work within an American tradition that began with Emerson and the best of the transcendentalists.
