The first large selection of work by the widely anthologized author of Guitar Against the Wall; City Air; Ideal Space Relations; and Legwork. The poet Carl Rakosi says of David Gitin's work: "These carefully selected perceptions in airy, delicate balance, unburdened by over-explication or description, leave the imagination free to fill them in. Mr. Gitin understands what is poetically worth observing...the minimum for giving one a lift...and what would be too much." Pulitzer Prize-winning poet George Oppen says that: "assembled 'against the wall' (the poems) spell out, and frequently with brilliant precision, 'what has happened.'" A.R.Ammons says: "You (Gitin) touch a sort of Zen infinitude." And John Cage says simply: "The work is beautiful."

This once : new & selected poems, 1965-1978

The poems in Fire Dance, Gitin's seventh book-length collection, comprise one work: an immediate, positive anthem for the 90's. They celebrate the transformation of the solitary self struggling for identity or place in the world, and move on to an affirmation of family, friendship, the healing power of love and the place of poetry as harmonizer of ancestral roots with the here and now.
