A major new collection from the winner of the 2019 Frost Medal for distinguished lifetime achievement in poetry
Before Our Eyes gathers more than thirty new poems by Eleanor Wilner, along with representative selections from her seven previous books, to present a major overview of her distinguished body of work. A poet who engages with history in lyrical language, Wilner creates worlds that reflect on and illuminate the actual one, drawing on the power of communal myth and memory to transform them into agents of change. In these poems, well-known figures step out of old texts to alter their stories and new figures arise out of the local air--a girl with a fury of bees in her hair, homesick statues that step down from their pedestals, a bat cave whose altar bears a judgment on our worship of war, and a frog whose spring wakening invites our own. In the process, ancient myths are naturalized while nature is newly mythologized in the service of life. Before Our Eyes features widely anthologized works such as "Sarah's Choice" and "Reading the Bible Backwards." In the new poems, Wilner records the bewildering public shocks of the current moment, when civic life is under threat, when language itself is attacked, and when poetry's lens of collective imagination becomes a way to resist falsity, to seek meaning, and to really see what is before our eyes.Binding Type: Paperback

Size does not run true. Have to one or two up your sizing. Well made otherwise.
Run small, nowhere true to size. Had to end up with a two-sizes larger pair. Otherwise, a nice weight, great shade of blue that is true to the photo. Really are wrinkle resistant. Not a lot of stretch, but that’s what he wanted anyway. Can’t speak to durability as we just received them, the material seems of a sturdy quality and is well made without any strings or skipped stitches. These will easily be worn casually or with a blazer. Nice flat front with a straight fit from hips to hem.
Once you find your size, these are a great pair of pants.

Comfortable
Very comfortable pants and the material feels good . Only complaint I have is the button closure. Will have to sew some more tread to the flimsy button. Perfect fit with just a little bit wriggly room in the waist for me. Price is very good compared to similar products with higher prices.

Great value.
Good, casual khaki. These do have their flaws. They have very average stitching, loose threads will happen. But they are true to size, very comfortable fabric.
Priced very reasonable. You put them on and forget um.
I will say the top button hole is "tight" on both pairs of mine.
Don't let that catch you short heading to the bathroom.
