In a remarkable generation of poets, Galway Kinnell was an acknowledged, true master. From the book-length poem memorialising the grit, beauty, and swarming assertion of immigrant life along a lower Manhattan avenue, to searing poems of human conflict and war, to incandescent reflections on love, family, and the natural world - including 'Blackberry Eating,” 'St. Francis and the Sow,' and “After Making Love We Hear Footsteps” - to the unflinchingly introspective poems of his later life, Kinnell’s work lastingly shaped the consciousness of his age.

Galway Kinnell was one of America's major modern poets. This new selection – drawing on eight collections from What a Kingdom It Was (1960) to Imperfect Thirst (1994) – updated his 1982 Selected Poems, which won him the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. His poetry was always marked by precise, furious intelligence, by rich aural music, by devotion to the things and creatures of the world, and by transformations of every understanding into singing, universal art. These constants appear in a dazzling range of poems: from odes of kinship with nature to realistic evocations of urban life, from religious quest to political statement, from brief imagistic lyrics to extended, complex meditations.This selection shows how the traditional Christian sensibility of his early work gave way to the sacramental, transfiguring dimension of the later poetry, which 'burrows fiercely into the self away from traditional sources of religious authority or even conventional notions of personality' (Richard Gray).As Kinnell once said: 'If you could keep going deeper and deeper, you'd finally not be a person...you'd be a blade of grass or ultimately perhaps a stone. And if a stone could speak, poetry would be its words.' Through the poem, Kinnell throws off the 'sticky infusion' of speech and - like the hunter in his celebrated poem The Bear - becomes one with the natural world, sharing in the primal experiences of birth and death.

With QR code for audio recording by Galway KinnellGalway Kinnell was one of America's major modern poets. Strong is Your Hold was the final collection he published after his Bloodaxe Selected Poems (2001), which updated his 1982 Selected Poems, winner of Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.The title of his eleventh collection comes from Walt Whitman’s ‘Last Invocation’: ‘Strong is your hold, O mortal flesh, / Strong is your hold, O love.’In this striking and varied new book, he gave us poems of intermingling with the natural world, love poems and evocations of sexuality, poems about his father, his children, poet friends, poet heroes and mythic figures. There is also anger and sorrow at human destructiveness, and Strong Is Your Hold includes ‘When the Towers Fell’, his stunning requiem for those who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11 in direct view of his New York apartment.Kinnell once said: ‘What troubles me is a sense that so many things lovely and precious in our world seem to be dying out. Perhaps poetry will be the canary in the mine-shaft warning us of what’s to come.’ And: ‘Maybe the best we can do is do what we love as best we can.’ Strong Is Your Hold is a powerful testament to Galway Kinnell’s loving view of the world.'There are few others writing today in whose work we feel so strongly the full human presence. His language tantalises us with a foretaste of meaning, an underlying emotional logic that recalls Whitman's I am the man, I suffer'd, I was there. Like all good poetry, his finest poems attract and mesmerise us before we really understand them.' – Morris Dickstein, New York Times Book ReviewThis book was originally published with an audio CD of Galway Kinnell reading all the poems. This edition includes a QR code giving online access to the same audio recording, enabling the reader to listen to Galway Kinnell's beautiful reading and introduction while reading the book.
