Days Like Prose

"Days Like Prose, Alan Michael Parker's first collection of poetry, is back in a second edition. This 2019 edition is redesigned but otherwise unchanged from the original, which was named a Notable Book of the Year by the National Book Critics Circle for 1997. Fellow poet Richard Wilbur wrote that 'this is an arresting first book; it gives us a poetry deep in particular moments and eloquently alert to the world's curious and agitated detail. Alan Michael Parker's poems are full, as poems should be, of surprises which turn out to be simply true.' And Publishers Weekly wrote, 'With a delicate lucidity, the poems in this first collection explore varieties of solitude. . . . The deft, formal quality of these poems coupled with Parker's eye for the telling detail make this a book of stirring, quiet beauty'"--
