Door in the Mountain: New and Collected Poems, 1965-2003 (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Since the 1965 publication of her first book, Dream Barker, selected for the Yale Younger Poets Award, Jean Valentine has published eight collections of poetry to critical acclaim. Spare and intensely-felt, Valentineâ€™s poems present experience as only imperfectly graspable. This volume gathers together all of Valentineâ€™s published poems and includes a new collection, â€œDoor in the Mountain.â€

Valentine's poetry is as recognizable as the slant truth of a dream. She is a brave, unshirking poet who speaks with fire on the great subjectsâ€”love, and death, and the soul. Her imagesâ€”strange, canny visions of the unknown selfâ€”clang with the authenticity of real experience. This is an urgent art that wants to heal what it touches, a poetry that wants to tell, intimately, the whole life.
