Saving Daylight : Copper Canyon Press : 9781556592676 : 1556592671 : 18 Oct 2007 : Although best known for his fiction, Jim Harrison's poetry has earned him recognition as an "untrammeled renegade genius." This, his tenth collection of poetry--and first in a decade--is grounded in thickets and rivers, birds and bears, and the solace of dogs in a crazed political world. Whether contemplating the ephemerality of 90 billion galaxies or the immediate grace of a waitress, Harrison relishes the art and mysteries of being alive. "I'm enrolled in a school without visible teachers," he writes in the title poem, "the divine mumbling just out of ear shot." Mr. Harrison divides his time between Montana and southern Arizona.--From publisher description.
