Wayfare

A lively new collection from one of America’s most celebrated contemporary poets Denise Levertov has called acclaimed poet Pattiann Rogers a visionary of reality, perceiving the material world with such intensity of response that impulse, intention, meaning, interconnections beyond the skin of appearance are revealed.” In her new collection, Rogers takes the reader on an exploration of human endeavor. Full of color and action, wonder and fear, these poems investigate, reflect upon, and create experiences relative to music, art, and theater, as well as to the universe and its creatures, large and small. They are distinguished by the penetrating vision and avid imagination that have made Rogers one of today’s most outstanding poets.

Pattiann Rogers has written twelve previous books of poetry. She was recently awarded a Literary Award from the Lannan Foundation. Prior awards include two National Endowment for the Arts grants, a Guggenheim Fellowship, five Pushcart Prizes, and three prizes from Poetry.
