Contemporary Poetry Two Sides of an Island: And Other Poems, (Paperback)

The poems in this first book by Halpern are diverse in form, style, and substance. Still the book as a whole has a central pattern: a movement back and forth between the polarities of experience. The poems are animated by a tension of conflict between these polarities.

Originally published in 1963.
