Struggling Times by Louis Simpson
The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's new collection reflects sixty years as a leading figure in American letters.
"This is the Jamaican-born Simpson's 18th collection; its dry trimeters and tragic resignations should certainly please the faithful fans.. Yet the new poems, as much as any in his oeuvre, leave room for unexpected happiness...Simpson believes in endurance and the rewards of the ordinary. He can, at his best, make his readers believe in those things too." --Publishers Weekly New York Times Book Review (2003); New Criterion; Washington Post; Christian Science Monitor; Library Journal; Harvard Review; Chelsea; American Book Review; Hudson Review; Publishers Weekly; Writers Almanac; etc.
Educated at Munro College (Jamaica, West Indies) and at Columbia where he received his doctorate, Louis Simpson has taught at various universities. The author of seventeen books of poetry, he has received the Rome Fellowship of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Hudson Review Fellowship, Guggenheim Foundation fellowships, and the Pulitzer Prize.
