Rules of Sleep\n\nPoems byHoward Moss  \nA winner of the National Book Award for poetry(for his Selected Poems)in 1972,and the recipi-ent of a Citation in Poetry from Brandeis Univer-sity in 1983 has produced here his strongest andfinest work.  \nThough the settings vary in these new poems—New York,Long Island,Italy,California,andFlorida—they are lyrical and dramatic medita-tions on the human condition.Subtle and fre-quently witty,they range from strong,shortpoems such as “Making a Bed”or “Rules ofSleep,\"to the more ruminative soliloquies \"InUmbria”and “Miami Beach”—two poems thatreceive,as their backgrounds demand,very dif-ferent treatments.Alternately realistic,contem-plative,or magical,the poems are characteris-tically elegant in their details.  \nThis new collection is a fitting addition to thework of a contemporary master.As Helen Ven-dler said in her review of Buried City,\"Moss'slines in their lucidity give us conversation as itwould be in Utopia,all light and feeling..[An]abyss underlies even the most Arcadian of Moss'slandscapes,but his genius lies in finding ways todescribe it which are instantly recognizable asour modern ways of masking pain.\"  \nHoward Moss's poetry available from Athen-eum includes Buried City(1975),Notes fromthe Castle(1980),and a book of light verse,A Swim off the Rocks(1976).A revised andenlarged edition of his Selected Poems will beavailable in 1985.  \nThe drauing on the front of the jacket is by Henry Moore.from bisShelter Sketch-book,1940.  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2012
