Desire: Poems

by

Frank Bidart

Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry.

I hate and–love. The sleepless body hammering a nail nails itself, hanging crucified.–from Catullus: Excrucior In Frank Bidart s collection of poems, the encounter with desire is the encounter with destiny. The first half contains some of Bidart s most luminous and intimate work-poems about the art of writing, Eros, and the desolations and mirror of history (in a spectacular narrative based on Tacitus). The second half of the book exts the overt lyricism of the opening section into even more ambitious territory- The Second Hour of the Night may be Bidart s most profound and complex meditation on the illusion of will, his most seductive dramatic poem to date.

Desire is a 1997 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry.
