Country, harbor, quiet, act, around : selected prose by Larry Eigner ( Book )
5 editions published in 1978 in English and held by 113 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Larry Eigner's poems are stars falling out of the sky. Seldom has there been such a shower. For the sky in his head meets space naturally, not on some self-imagined edge. Stars can go wrong. Most poets will not accept that. Where so much poetry ends, Eigner's begins. His prose, why not, comes from another angle, closer here. Second-story man, moved down to first. Try living in bed, when not in a wheelchair, for fortysome years, with a window nearby; with the seasons opening and closing that window ..."--Douglas Woolf, from the introduction
