In Wild Gratitude, Edward Hirsch unfurls a kaleidoscope of inventive poems that honor other artists and writers, confront urban life and embrace East European fugitives, as well as eulogizing his grandparents and recollecting his youth. At their very best the poems in this collection, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, somehow merge these subjects, as is the case in "Three Journeys," which draws parallels between a bag lady's troubles and those of an artist. In all, the book offers readers a sweeping accumulation of work by a talented poet deserving of greater attention.

Extraordinary, direct poetry April 17, 2003
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I saw Edward Hirsch read from his work earlier this week and the reading confirmed what I have thought for some time--he is one of the best poets now working. Direct, passionate, delightful and in love with life despite its difficulties and disappointments, this reissue (along with his new book, Lay Back the Darkness and his older collection, For The Sleepwalkers) is a book no lover of serious, skilled poetry should be without.
Stunning American poetry. August 31, 1999
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I've had this volume for many years now. Hirsch's poem "Edward Hopper and the House by the Railroad" is perhaps one of the best American language poems ever written. I consider almost all of Hirsch's work to be outstanding, but I hope never to be without a copy of this volume.
