A collection of poetry spanning the career of distinguished poet Michael Collier. Whether Michael Collier is writing about an airline disaster, a friendship with a disgraced Catholic bishop, his father s encounter with Charles Lindbergh, Lebanese beekeepers, a mother s sewing machine, or a piano in the woods, he does so with the syntactic verve, scrupulously observed detail, and a flawless ear that has made him one of America s most distinguished poets. These poems cross expanses, connecting the fear of missing love and the bliss of holding it, the ways we speak to ourselves and language we use with others, and deep personal grief and shadows of world history.The Missing Mountain brings together a lifetime of work, chronicling Collier s long and distinguished career as a poet and teacher. These selections, both of previously published and new poems, chart the development of Collier s art and the cultivations of his passions and concerns.
