The Mercy Seat - Collected & New Poems, 1967-2000 (Hardcover)

Poetry. Norman Dubie, an award-winning author of 17 previous books, is not simply a poet's poet: he is a reader's poet. His poems draw upon and recast the world's greatest tales, and salvages from the backwaters of human history moments of redemptive, imaginative beauty. A Tibetan Buddhist whose work has been translated into thirty languages, THE MERCY SEAT is Dubie's first volume in over a decade, and collects from all his previous books. One of our premier poets - The New York Times. One of the most powerful and influential American poets - Washington Post Book World.
