About This Book

"In America today there is no lyric work more compelling and well made than To the Center of the Earth, " Allen Grossman wrote ten years ago of Michael Fried's last collection of poetry. Fried's new book, The Next Bend in the Road, is a powerfully coherent gathering of lyric and prose poems that has the internal scope of a novel with a host of characters, from the poet's wife and daughter to Franz Kafka, Paul CĂ©zanne, Osip Mandelstam, Sigmund Freud, GisĂšle Lestrange, and many others; transformative encounters with works of art, literature, and philosophy, including Heinrich von Kleist's "The Earthquake in Chile, " Giuseppe Ungaretti's "Veglia, " and Edouard Manet's Le DĂ©jeuner sur l'herbe; and, running through the book from beginning to end, a haunted awareness of the entanglement of the noblest accomplishments and the most intimate joys with the horrors of modern history.
