Norman DubieGroom FalconerPoemsNorman Dubie's art of poetry is vividly particular, and the sudden details in each poem trap us into his arresting visions. We encounter in these pages historical figures—Poe, Freud, Trakl—newly re-seen. We also encounter anonymous but instantly memorable figures like the girl of "Ars Poetica" or, in the title poem, the "insomniac / Rich child who sits naked at the window," and who greets the speaker "with an acknowledgment / One reserves for a ghost." Groom Falconer, Norman Dubie's fourteenth book, represents his finest work yet. Riveting. . . . A gripping account of one man's observations of the human condition. . . . Genuinely haunting."—Jim Elledge, Booklist Hypnotic imagery and unforgettably bizarre stories imbued with individual vision."—Publishers Weekly
