Stanley Moss, renowned poet and editor, celebrated his ninety-second birthday with a vibrant affirmation: "Death is a many-colored harlequin." In her writings, Rosanna Warren praises Moss's latest poems as "Undaunted, outrageously alive," showcasing an array of colors that surpass even the imagination of the Grim Reaper. With a mischievous laugh, audacious rhymes, and a joyful noise unto the Lord, Moss defies convention and embraces the audacity of poetry. His words strut with the flamboyance of Baudelaire, leaving an indelible mark on the literary landscape. This remarkable book is a treasure to hold onto, for it encapsulates the essence of Stanley Moss's poetic journey. Throughout his seven-decade presence in the American and European artistic scenes, Moss has played a pivotal role as a defining editor of world poetry. He stands as a prominent poet of the generation of Ashbery, Merwin, Wright, and Kinnell, whose works have left an indelible mark on contemporary literature. This book serves as a valuable complement to his Almost Complete Poems (Carcanet, 2017), enriching it with recovered writings and freshly minted poems that confront the challenges of our time while celebrating the angels that reside within it.
