Analysis and comments on From The Long Sad Party by Mark Strand

Comment 1 of 1, added on June 29th, 2006 at 12:31 PM.

Something about this poem suggests that it is not finished. It may be a purposeful attempt to convey that as bad as life was, in retrospect perhaps those were the best of times, having happened before one had the ability to comprehend. And now, even if the music starts, it is a different time, small and insignificant when one ages.

Ruth magleby from United States
