Everything Is Burning: Poems

"Ruthless and occasionally outrageous, Stern's literary songs are sharp, surprising, and unerring in their delivery." — Ploughshares, Editor's Choice

In his fourteenth collection, Gerald Stern gives us sharp, focused, political — occasionally outrageous — poems that delve deep into their subjects and transform reality. As in previous collections, Stern uses his personal history as a source for his literary songs, but the poems in Everything Is Burning are more ruthless, more honest, in their lack of self-pity and full realization of possibility.
