This month for Poetry 365 we’re featuring the profound eighth book from influential poet Frank Bidart. In Metaphysical Dog, the Wallace Stevens Award winner focuses his “spiky free verse” on poignant explorations of “the war between the mind and body, ecstasy and obliteration, his mother’s death, and his coming out.” Unconventional, emotional, and intellectually rewarding, this 39 poem collection shows why Louise Gluck named Bidart “one of the great poems of our time.” So check out this bold new volume, sample a poem below, and make sure to stop back next month for Poetry 365.
