Generations

Description

"Pattiann Rogers one of America's contemporary poets, has won a reputation for densely detailed, thickly textured poems describing the natural world and one's place in it that are informed by a broad knowledge of science. In the tradition of Emerson, Whitman, and A. R. Ammons, Rogers's poems read like a series of explorations of the physical world and the presence of the divine. Her new collection, Generations, consists of fifty five poems that concern themselves not just with the notion of the generations of life, but "generations" in the sense of energy, change, replication, and continuity - the entire process of coming or bringing into being."--BOOK JACKET.
