George Bradley's A Stroll in the Rain is 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 Rain presents spirited, often witty poetry that is skillful, rich, and fun.
George Bradley is the author of five previous books of verse. Among other honors, he has received the Yale Younger Poets Prize, the Witter Bynner Prize, the Peter I. B. Lavan Award, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Bradley's work has appeared in the New Yorker, Poetry, the Paris Review, and six of the annual Best American Poetry volumes. He lives in Connecticut.
