Strangers : A Book of Poems, Paperback by Ferry, David, ISBN 0226244709, ISBN-13 9780226244709, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US<div>"David Ferry must have had something up his sleeve when he called his book "Strangers," because his is a poetry of intimacy and familiarity. More than that, Mr. Ferry's short, sparse lyrics are as perfectly and simply composed as Japanese haiku&#8212;a rare accomplishment in poetry written in English."&#8212;Andy Brumer, <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br><br>"<i>Strangers</i> is a remarkably good book for a reader sufficiently attentive to hear its quiet power, to let it work in its distinctive way."&#8212;<i>Boston Globe</i><br><br>"The poems of David Ferry's <i>Strangers</i> are in fact on, and it is a splendid one. There is the same austere and poignant voice throughout, asking the unanswerable things, speaking of all that is withheld from us, confronting the unknownness that dwells even in the familiar and dear. Painful and touching, th offers a distinctive vision which is at the same time inescapably true."&#8212;Richard Wilbur</div>
