From early anti-war poems and working-class portraits to visionary meditations and love lyrics, Cope weaves a lifelong commitment to compassion, honesty, and formal innovation. Influenced by mentors like Allen Ginsberg and Robert Hayden, Cope's poetry traverses American life with sharp-eyed witness and deep feeling-bearing witness to war, labor, loss, ecological peril, and moments of transcendence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis definitive collection includes poems from every phase of Cope's career, including selections from his celebrated books \u003cem\u003eQuiet Lives\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn the Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFragments from the Stars\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Keys\u003c\/em\u003e, among others.
