Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. CALLER AND OTHER PIECES is Raworth's first collection since his COLLECTED POEMS of 2003. Comprised of 14 pieces with the long poem Caller at its center, this book evinces a striking formal and tonal variety--from the classic Raworth Rhythmic and roving perceptual matrix, to the comedic one-liner, to the parodic end-rhyme, the visual, and even a bit of nouveau-zaum. CALLER AND OTHER PIECES again demonstrates that Tom Raworth's accomplishment is essential to the poetry of our time.
