Description
From the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, a collection of poems ranging from melancholy meditations of a solitary mind concerning estrangement and the longing for reconnection to the natural world and its creatures closely observed. "When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone is a poem that invites us, too, to pay such keen attention--both by seeing and listening--to the world, while also paying respect to our own inner lives, our feelings of solitude or self-estrangement, our longings and obligations to each other."--Jennifer Grotz
