- Synopsis
- "Perhaps the greatest English language poem of this century" (The New York Times)-finally in paperback! Jack Kerouac called Robert Lax "one of the great original voices of our times. . . a Pilgrim in search of beautiful innocence, writing lovingly, finding it, simply, in his own way. " Though many hold him to be one of the greatest American poets of the 20th century, Lax maintained a low profile, living and writing in seclusion on the Greek island of Patmos. In Circus Days and Nights, Lax's three great long poems on the circus-"Circus of the Sun," "Mogador's Book," and "Sunset City"-are collected together for the first time, placing this early masterwork in the position within American literature that it so richly deserves.
