Crossing to sunlight

A collection of more than one hundred poems, Crossing to Sunlight offers both a retrospective and current look at the work of Paul Zimmer. Ranging across thirty-five years, the volume begins with Zimmer's early, more structured and traditional writing, moves through the autobiographical poems of his middle years and the creation of his buoyant persona, "Zimmer," and concludes with a generous selection of his mature, new work with its emphasis on durable basic themes.
