Birthday Poems: A Celebration
Book
Description
Everyone
has a birthday which they meet with varying levels
of joy and ambivalence each year. Birthday Poems,
edited by Jason Shinder (Tales from the Couch:
Writers on Therapy), underscores this fact with a
century's worth of poems by a variety of prominent
U.S. writers (from e.e. cummings to John Hollander
to June Jordan to Denis Cooper), who celebrate,
lament and mull over the meaning of a birthday. A
subject index will help readers find poems specific
to certain family members or to the age being
celebrated.
