Summary:
"In his seventeenth collection of poetry, Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Dunn confronts the
lines
we fight against and the ones we draw for ourselves.
Lines
of
Defense
poignantly captures the absurdities of modern life, expectations derailed, the lived life juxtaposed to the imagined life, and the defenses we don to make do. The
poems
in
Lines
of
Defense
are wry and elegiac, precisely observed and wide-reaching. As with the best of Dunn’s work, they take stock of the quotidian aspects of life, of the essential comedy of getting through the day: finding a lost cat; not being invited to a party; taking a granddaughter to a carnival. The
lines
of
defense
are the
lines
of the verse itself, as poetry forms a stronghold against mortality. This essential volume showcases a poet writing at the height of his powers."--Jacket.
