Prepositional Heaven (Hardcover)
Description
Thomas Rabbitt was born in Boston and attended the Boston Latin School and Harvard College. He taught poetry for twenty-five years at the University of Alabama. During that time he published several books, including Exile, which won the 1974 Pitt Prize. In 1997 he was awarded a literature fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts.
Last year River City Press, under our Black Belt imprint, published Enemies of the State, Rabbitt's eighth book, which included "The Beach at Falmouth Heights, Summer, 1952, " selected by Rita Dove for inclusion in The Best American Poetry 2000.
Rabbitt recently moved from Alabama to Massachusetts, and then to a new home in Ireland. In Prepositional Heaven, he continues to explore the dark corners of human experience, and to shed light where most of us fear to gaze. Few poets hit as hard; few craft their message so effectively.
