The Work of the Sun
'The Work of the Sun', Charles Edward Eaton's 17th collection of poetry, includes selections from 'The Guest on Mild Evenings' (1992), 'The Country of the Blue' (1994), 'The Fox and I' (1996), 'The Scout in Summer' (1999), 'The Jogger by the Sea' (2000), and over 30 new poems, previously published in 'Salmagundi', 'The New Criterion', and others.
The Country of the Blue
This twelfth volume of poems by Charles Edward Eaton is unique among his works in that it is concentrated on a single theme: water - reminding us, as Melville said, "Meditation and water are forever wedded." Superb vitality and action are also present in these vivid poems about the sea, inland waters, swimmers, ships, and voyages.
The Bright Plain
Th is a volume of collected poems by a man who is considered by some to rank among such notables as Conrad Aiken, MacLeish, Eliot, Spender, Auden, and Frost. As a poet he exhibits a fine eye and ear and a fine mind for an appraisement of the scene around him. Originally published in 1942. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.
The Fox and I
One of the most sensuous of writers, Eaton also gives us skin games, the harsh anvil power of sexual passion as well as la vie en rose - a whole studbook of lovers, close up and in overview from a hang glider.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
In his sixteenth collection of poetry, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea Charles Edward Eaton employs his talents in a new role -- that of humorist and keen observer of life's predicaments and difficult choices. In the title poem of his first selection, he puts the reader into the mood of compassionate humor with his portrait of Mr. Meek who cuts out paper dolls for feminine companionship. Goliath is present as contrasting oaf, as well as the broken lives in Potted Palm who have ambitions to be royal.
The Scout in Summer
This wide-ranging metaphorical concept of "the scout," as in the title poem, indicates the many paths the book follows, not limited by any rigid sense of direction but, in fact, going out to edges and extremes, both joyful and aware of life's distresses: "Evidence abounds, but still only the tip of the world's mistakes, / The cold, deep mass of sorrow and illusion. / I am the man who monitors the moment when the glacier breaks." ("The Monitor").
