Summary
Clarence Major's poems celebrate being human. Almost always visual in terms of focus, Major's poems are colorful and reflexive. His rich poems explore the joys and travails of life in new and exciting ways. From Now On is a retrospective of poems written during the 1950s to the present, including selections from each of Major's previous books. This collection maintains Major's intimate, conversational poetry while simultaneously becoming more eclectic, multicultural, and cosmopolitan. Major's poetry connects us with history, art, love, and social change through a dynamic exploration of universal subjects and themes. -- from back cover.
