Blizzard of One: Poems
I'm guessing Strand won the Pulitzer more for the work he did BEFORE this book, rather than for this book itself. Not that the book was bad, I just don't think it was deserving of the Pulitzer.
The man is obviously brilliant. I particularly liked "Next Time," and the last of his "A Suite of Appearances." ("Will the same day ever come back, and with it Our amazement at having been in it, or will only a dark haze Spread at the back of the mind, erasing events, one after The other, so brief they may have been lost to begin with?")
The real meat of the book came at the end though, with "The Delirium Waltz." The mix of his styles give it a unique touch, and the symbolism and imagery of the dance itself gives the feeling that when I read it, I was looking at the picture of the old/young woman, and I saw them both.
