Beautiful Is the World

In Beautiful Is the World, David Biespiel spans three decades of lyric intensity, tracing the intimate cartography of memory, place, and inheritance. These poems move between the Pacific Northwest's rain-soaked landscapes and the haunted reaches of Jewish ancestry, between the urgent present and history's long shadows. Biespiel's lines shimmer with atmospheric precision -- "star-this, star-that, settled into rest" -- while confronting mortality, brotherhood, and the stubborn persistence of the past. From elegiac meditations to sprawling epistolary sequences, this New and Selected volume showcases a poet of remarkable range: tender and unflinching, rooted in American soil yet alive to exile's ancient grief.
