More DescriptionThis superb Pulitzer Prize-winning collection gives voice to failure with a wry, deft touch from one of this country’s most engaging and uncompromising poets. In Failure, Philip Schultz evokes the pleasures of family, marriage, beaches and dogs, New York City in the 1970s, revolutions both interior and exterior, and the terrors of 9/11 with a compassion that demonstrates he is a master of the bittersweet and fierce, the wondrous and direct, and the brilliantly provocative. Filled with poems of "heartbreaking tenderness that [go] beyond mere pity” (Gerald Stern), Failure is a collection to savor from this major American voice.
