    <![CDATA[<strong>A new collection from &quot;one of the real treasures in poetry of our time&quot; (<em>Washington Post</em>).</strong><br/><br/>Linda Pastan writes, &quot;the art that mattered / was the life led fully / stanza by swollen stanza.&quot; That life is portrayed here, from memories of the poet's earliest childhood and the ambiguities of marriage and love to the surprises that come with age, always with a consciousness of what is happening in the larger world.]]>
