Beautiful Wreckage: New & Selected Poems

Rate this book
Poetry. Comprising 30 years of work from 12 collections, BEAUTIFUL WRECKAGE includes early poems never before collected along with 24 new poems. A hunger for honesty and a charged lyricism have always made Bill Ehrhart's poetry remarkably his own. Though he's best known for his Vietnam War poems, his BEAUTIFUL NEW & SELECTED POEMS includes many lovely poems not about Vietnam.

"This book deserves serious recognition."—John Balaban

I met Ehrhart at college - and have a signed copy of this book. He's a wonderful poet - talking about everything from life to anti-war themes in his poems. He's definitely worth a look if you like poetry.
