QuickviewDown Stranger Roads by Roger Craik
PoetryNo one sounds like Roger Craik. His voice, a beguilingly cosmopolitan mix of British purebred and American mutt, is the well-stamped passport he shows at border crossings from Ashtabula to Auschwitz, from Kent State to Krakow, from Amsterdam to the far-flung outposts of the human heart. This poet is most at home when far from home, prowling the shrapneled boondocks and scrap yards of Cold War history. —George B. Bilger$16.00 -
QuickviewIn Other Days by Roger Craik
New Releases, Poetry“Every moment of Roger Craik's In Other Days is an event of inviolable music, golden, as the best of music always is, with both finitude and duration. And I use the word “golden” most particularly here, as these poems--whether urban or pastoral, whether fond or furious--impart a radiance to their idiom identical to that burnished radiance we find in the paintings of Samuel Palmer or the enigmas of Elgar. Craik adventures far beyond pathos and nostalgia, into something like a prospect of eternity. I am both thrilled and consoled by this poetry.” —Donald Revell$16.00 -
