Norman Dubie

Selected and New Poems

In this book, Norman Dubie has included work from three past volumes, all now unavailable: In the Dead of the Night, The City of Olesha Fruit and The Everlastings. He has also represented work from The Illustrations, and there is a generous section of new poems written over the last four years. At turns dark and sullen, dramatic and meditative, these poems reveal adopted personas against which the poet's world is superimposed, a world of bright and elaborate substance in which consciousness is continually under threat. From this Dubie's primary voice emerges, retrieving dreams that illustrate the dreamers.

Norman Dubie is one of our premier poets. The reader new to Mr. Dubie's work is lifely to be struck first by the vigor of his forms and the bravery of his language."—Peter Still, New York Times Book Review
