Life Supports: New and Collected Poems
William Bronk
Bronk’s “rare gift” as an essay in the
Voice Literary Supplement recently argued, “is the ability to float difficult truths on fleeting snatches of spoken breath”. Bronk, according to
Compound Eye, “is one of America’s greatest living poets”. According to poet and critic Michael Heller, he is “one of our modern masters”. The new edition of
Life Supports makes available once again one of the principal literary works of our time.
