Crossing to Sunlight : Selected Poems, 1965-95

A collection of more than one hundred poems, Crossing to Sunlight offers both a retrospective and current look at the work of Paul Zimmer. Ranging across thirty-five years, the volume begins with Zimmer's early, more structured and traditional writing, moves through the autobiographical poems of his middle years and the creation of his buoyant persona, "Zimmer, " and concludes with a generous selection of his mature, new work with its emphasis on durable basic themes.
