David Shapiro's poetry--from his acclaimed 1965 debut January to the new poems debuting in this career-spanning collection--speaks with the resonance of a far-ranging erudition while simultaneously playing across the surface of American English with a musical sensibility unparalleled in contemporary verse. In this landmark volume, celebrating Shapiro’s 60th year and his 10th book-length volume of poetry, readers are presented with the breadth and depth of this iconoclastic poet's oeuvre for the first time in a single volume.Shapiro's poetry plumbs the ecstatic chaos of postmodern life with a voice that, in all its manifestations, remains simultaneously playful and lyric. Including the best of long out-of-print classics of such as Man Holding an Acoustic Panel and Lateness, this long-awaited tribute celebrates the impressive contribution of a New York poet whose intelligently experimental and intimately human verse has earned him a place in our national letters.

Living Things contains all the poems in Porter’s National Book Award Finalist collection, An Altogether Different Language, plus forty-four new works. David Shapiro writes in his foreword, “Anne Porter’s diction is as modest as that of William Carlos Williams or of a poet she nurtured as a houseguest for many years, James Schuyler. . . . She has the quality of paying attention to ultimate reality that Fairfield Porter, who painted her so often alone and with their five children, told me should be the conclusion of every sermon. . . . She is an American religious poet of stature who reminds us that the idea of the holy is still possible for us.” Living Things is a book for any lover of fine poetry, but will be particularly inspiring and meaningful to Christians whose faith is strong, and would make a beautiful gift.

Since his precocious first book, published when he was eighteen, award-winning David Shapiro's four previous volumes of poetry have been hailed by Kenneth Rexroth, Philip Lopate, and John Ashbery. A Burning Interior offers a restless poetry dense with stories but without mere confession or whimsical surface. It is a collection both universal and, at the same time, powerfully Jewish.
Shapiro's assured voice shows both range and virtuosity-included in this masterful collection are poems for Picasso, translations of Baudelaire and Rilke, amusing "found art poetry," moving elegies, rhymed translations, and dazzling prose poems.

The domestic themes of affection, death, family, and childhood recur in poems of rare lyricism. Shapiro modulates deftly between irony and doubt, threading the shoals of fragmentation and disenchantments with delicacy and a highly attuned ear.
