Selected Lyric Poetry

The Selected Lyric Poetry of U. G. Vilagos finally collects portions of his lyrical works. The collection is bold and vibrant, as if written in blood, with a lifetime of strong feeling punched into every poem. A work of genius. A launchpad into a brave new world of literature. A book that defies both time and death, and makes poetry feel possible again. Vilagos' great gift has always been the ability to connect deeply to a sense of humanity without giving in to sentimentality. The poems in this book will resonate with anyone who has ever felt abandoned by the world. Vilagos is, indeed, immortal. This book proves it.
