The Joy of a Ming Vase: Poems by Ruth Dallas by Ruth Dallas (English) Hardcover

Description: The Joy of a Ming Vase by Ruth Dallas Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A collection of recent poems by a senior poet. Each piece is sensitively imbued not only with the poets awareness of impending death but also with the incorrigible fragility of life. While Dallas is at home in a number of different modes, her high regard for literary tradition as a form of spiritual realism makes her eminently readable as a disciplined watcher of the seasons. Publisher Description As American critic Tom Disch quipped of many vintage poets: friends and pets die, the garden takes on a new significance. There are poems in this collection about Dutch Masters, the remembered voice of a deceased soprano, a waterfall, ancient Chinese artefacts, victims of the World Wars, kites and flowers; but each piece is sensitively imbued not only with the poets awareness of impending death but also with the incorrigible fragility of life. While Dallas is at home in a number of different modes, her high regard for literary tradition as a form of spiritual realism makes her eminently readable as a disciplined watcher of the seasons. Author Biography Ruth Dallas first published her poems in 1946. She is the author of many volumes and also a noted childrens fiction writer. She has received many awards, including the New Zealand Book Award for Poetry in 1977, and is much anthologised.
