Poetry


Show and Tell
New and Selected Poems
Jim Daniels

The University of Wisconsin Press Poetry Series
Ronald Wallace, Series Editor


Includes the "best of" the celebrated poet Jim Daniels

"Jim Daniels's work is strong, direct, with a contemporary validity."
—Gwendolyn Brooks

"Show and Tell is a splendidly varied, rich and complex collection of poems, serious and wise, wry and often profound. Daniels's work has become both more experientially dramatic, and more poetically sure of itself. The voice in the poems retains its directness, its deceptive artlessness, but the conscience of the work and the generosity which informed it from the beginning have grown still more substantial."—C. K. Williams

"Jim Daniels is a poet of unique commitment and ability. He makes poetry an act of deep caring and recognition."—Robert Creeley

Jim Daniels received a 1985 National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship and was the first Brittingham Poetry Prize winner for Places/Everyone, also published by the University of Wisconsin Press. He is the author of fourteen other collections of poetry, including seven full-length collections: Places/Everyone, Punching Out, M-80, Blessing the House, Niagara Falls, Blue Jesus, and Night with Drive-By Shooting Stars. He lives in Pittsburgh.
