Publisher Marketing:George Bradley’sA Stroll in the Rainis at once a retrospective volume and a new advance in the career of one of our most accomplished poets. Distilling more than thirty-five years of his work, this volume exhibits a wide variety of styles and forms, ranging from brief lyric to extended verse essay, establishing moods that encompass humor, tenderness, and surprise. The substantial section of new work shows Bradley deepening his exploration of the only two topics finally available to any author: the mystery of human consciousness and the unassimilable fact of death.

From agriculture to astrophysics, from New England winters to Tuscan summers, and much else besides,A Stroll in the Rainpresents spirited, often witty poetry that is skillful, rich, and fun.
