A new collection of poetry from the award-winning author of "The Sugar Mile" and "The Nerve." Glyn Maxwell's previous book, "The Sugar Mile", was heralded as a bold expansion of the art of poetry. "Hide Now", his newest collection, written in wry, colloquial language and employing a brilliant array of poetic forms, delivers a commentary on the icons and iconic moments of the present.With a vision both apocalyptic and comic, Maxwell takes us from Guns N' Roses to President Bush, from the unearthly quiet of a war zone to the pompous flapping of a flag to the sound of a departed friend's voice: "a certain note/ I almost hear, can almost manage/ in my throat." "Hide Now" is further evidence that Maxwell is the most adept heir to the poetic legacies of W. H. Auden and Robert Frost, which is why the critic James Wood could claim so convincingly that Maxwell is "the major poet of his generation." Fierce, direct, and always bristling with intelligence, "Hide Now" is a remarkable addition to a truly original poet's oeuvre.
