World Tree (Pitt Poetry Series)
<div><P><I>World Tree</I> is in many respects, David Wojahn’s most ambitious collection to date; especially notable is a 25-poem sequence of ekphrastic poems, “Ochre,†which is accompanied by a haunting series of drawings and photographs of Neolithic Art and anonymous turn of the last century snapshots.</P><P><BR> Wojahn continues to explore the themes and approaches which he is known for, among them the junctures between the personal and political, a giddy mixing of high and pop culture references, and a deep emotional engagement with whatever material he is writing about.<BR><BR> Winner of the 2012 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize from the Academy of American Poets</P></div>
