{"product_id":"the-daily-mirror-9780684864938","title":"The Daily Mirror","description":"Following in the footsteps of such poets as Emily Dickinson, William Stafford, and Frank O'Hara, David Lehman began writing a poem a day in 1996 and found the experience so rewarding that he continued for the next two years. During that time, some of these poems appeared in various journals and on Web sites, including \u003ci\u003eThe Poetry Daily site, \u003c\/i\u003e which ran thirty of Lehman's poems in as many days throughout the month of April 1998. \u003cbr\u003e For \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Mirror, \u003c\/i\u003e Lehman has selected the best of these daily poems -- each tied to a specific occasion or situation -- and telescoped two years into one. Spontaneous and immediate, but always finely crafted and spiced with Lehman's signature irony and wit, the poems are akin to journal entries charting the passing of time, the deaths of great men and women, the news of the day. Jazz, Sinatra, the weather, love, poetry and poets, movies, and New York City are among their recurring themes. \u003cbr\u003e A departure from Lehman's previous work, this unique volume provides the intimacy of a diary, full of passion, sound, and fury, but with all the aesthetic pleasure of poetry. More a party of poems than a standard collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e presents an exciting new way to think about poetr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lehman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.41h x 5.54w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684864938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2000 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/09\/2000 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Lehman, the series editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, is also the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Oxford Book of American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e.
