Rejoicing: New and Collected Poems

Rejoicing is a magnificent, celebratory gathering of Stanley Moss’ poetry from six decades. He is one of America’s finest poets and this collection demonstrates why. Marilyn Hacker wrote of his work, ‘Its verbal generosity and bravura, its humanity, the quality and quantity of information which it integrates into poetry of the highest order make it a continuing delight’, and in Britain John Fuller wrote: ‘Stanley Moss’ poems are fresh and unpredictable, full of colour and wisdom. As a poetry that engages the philosophical mind it seems characteristically American in its scope and cultural engagement, but there is also the generous warmth of a mind at ease in its body, open to surprises and possibilities’.
