Buckdancer's Choice

James Dickey
4/5 ( ratings)
Poetry that is a blend of superb gift and subtle imagination by a mature and original poet at his finest.

Winner of the National Book Award
Winner of the Melville Cane Award

Whoever looks to a new book by James Dickeys for further work in an established mode, or for mere novelty, is going to be disappointed. But those who seek instead a true widening of the horizons of meaning, coupled with a sure-handed mastery of the craft of poetry, will find this latest collection satisfying indeed.

Here is a man who matches superb gifts with a truly subtle imagination, into whose depths he is courageously traveling--pioneering--in exploratory penetrations into areas of life that are too often evaded or denied. The Firebombing, Slave Quarters, The Fiend--these poems, with the others that comprise the present volume, show a mature and original poet at his finest.
