Icehouse Lights (Yale Series of Younger Poets)

Winner of the 1981 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition   “David Wojahn’s poems concern themselves with emotive basics: leaving home, watching those we love age and die, the inescapable drone of our mortality. Yet as poems, they are far from usual. They help us welcome inside, again and again, the most personal of feelings.”—Richard Hugo, poet and judge of the competition
