Jacket design by Erik Rieselbach. keywords: Poetry Literature America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The poems of If I Were Writing This, Robert Creeley's first major collection since the highly praised Life & Death (1998), have an ‘aching sweetness' that speak to the preciousness of life as the poet both faces his own mortality and simultaneously looks on a world suddenly more precarious and fragile. In these poems there is longing, a twinge of regret sometimes, a bit of nostalgia, the sadness of passing time, but finally no regrets and no self-pity, just an understanding that this is what it is to be human, an acknowledgment that life is uncertain but also bracing and positive. Creeley himself comments: ‘Given the bleak vulnerability of the world and of our own country's dogmatic commitment to violence, what can either poet or poetry do? For one thing, insist on feeling-insist on witness-insist on being here, in this 'phenomenal world, ' as Lawrence called it, 'which is raging and yet apart. ' Age brings experience, not wisdom; age makes time actual-each day another-until there is no more. These poems have been my company, my solace, my feelings, my heart. When they cannot speak, it will all be silence. ' inventory #40632.
