Poems of recollection and elegy commingle and conjoin with poems which address larger matters of historical and ecological import. The subjects of extinction and apocalypse figure prominently and obsessively in these pages, both in short lyrics and in several lengthy sequences. The poems also evidence the mastery of technique for which Wojahn is renowned, whether he is writing in fixed forms or in free verse. For the Scribe is the most ambitious and searching collection thus far from a poet who has been a named finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry, winner of the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets, the O.B. Hardison Award from the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the William Carlos Williams Book Award. 410 0$aPitt poetry series. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y21st century 615 0$aAmerican poetry 676 $a811.608 700 $aWojahn$b David$01507234 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819196303321 996 $aFor the scribe$94009385 997 $aUNINA
