Lucky Life door Gerald Stern

I was lucky enough to attend a reading by Gerald Stern years ago at Warren County Community College in New Jersey (thanks to B.J. Ward and Brian Bradford), during which he signed my copy of this book, including a separate signature on the page containing one of my favorite poems in the collection, Lillian Harvey. Stern's poems are unflinchingly personal, gritty and rough in the way that self-reflection should be, yet compassionate and accessible.
Personal favorites from this collection:

Stern is great at capturing snapshot images. Many of these poems focus on Stern's memories of his life in the twentieth century. He references wars, Orson Welles, Ted Berrigan's funeral, and Ezra Pound, as well as personal moments, like his sister's death. In true contemporary fashion, he seems to be intentionally obscure and cryptic at times. Stern often mixes concrete images with abstract, and likes to end his short poems with surprising lines.
