Cool, metaphysically quizzical, almost Eastern-European in sensibility, Aaron's poems are a far cry from the dull, personal anecdotal quality that infects so much contemporary poetry. Savvy, intelligent, personal yet reserved, they take us on imaginative forays into a world where time swirls the past into the present, juxtaposing historical persons and places with the here and now. This allows the poet to speak with a weird authority that's both wholly American and timeless, intimate yet without the intrusion of a confiding individual self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron is a poet whose work is well known and admired by poets but has not yet reached the larger audience it deserves, though his poems have appeared numerous times in \u003ci\u003eBest American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e and his second book, \u003ci\u003eSecond Sight\u003c\/i\u003e, was a National Poetry Series winner. He is a frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Times Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, and has taught for many years at Emerson College. \u003ci\u003eJourney to the Lost City\u003c\/i\u003e is his first book since 1992. It has been eagerly awaited by his fans, and will introduce new readers to a poet of great range and stature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan Aaron is the author of two books of poems, Second Sight and Corridor.
