| Half-Light: Collected Poems by Frank Bidart |
It would delight and no doubt astound me to find in my stocking Half-Light: Collected Poems 1965-2016 by Frank Bidart, because
- throughout the years his poems have always been around but not close enough; I’ve never owned one of his books;
- What could be better than waking up on Christmas morning to a giant book of gay poems with a beheading gracing the cover?
- My stocking is so tiny and barely fit for a gift-card that for this 700+ page book to be in my stocking would mean something impossible would have occurred overnight, and I’d very much like to believe in that possibility as well as in the magic in Bidart’s poetry.
