Roger Mitchell writes with a poet's eye for exact detail in his absorbing new book about his search for Israel Johnson - a ghostly presence who comes to haunt the reader as much as he did the author. Written with all the passion of a autobiography. Clear Pond might easily be thought of as a detective story in which the detective discovers himself at the center of a seeming crime. For the author's investigations lay bare the poet himself, Roger Mitchell, whose obsession becomes ours as well as his. It's a lovely book, richly layered and beautifully written" - Jay Parini, author of the The Last Station: A Novel of Today's Last Year Don't forget to check out other great deals in our Store!!
