Pink Dust

A wry, poignant reflection on aging from one of America's finest and most admired poets. Admired by such luminaries as punk rock godfather Richard Hell and indie film director Jim Jarmusch, Pulitzer Prize finalist Ron Padgett is one of our best known and most acclaimed poets. For the last six decades, Padgett's poetry--"wonderful, generous, funny" (John Ashbery)--has moved and delighted generations of readers with its inventiveness, its gentle humor, and above all, its ability to instill wonder for the world. These same qualities Padgett brings to his latest book of poems, Pink Dust, a poignant reflection on old age that shimmers with all the insouciance of youth.
