Alfred A. Knopf
31 October 1990
From the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, acollection of poems ranging from melancholy meditations of a solitary mind concerning estrangement and the longing for reconnection to the natural world and its creatures closely observed.

""When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone is a poem that invites us, too, to pay such keen attention-both by seeing and listening-to the world, while also paying respect to our own inner lives, our feelings of solitude or self-estrangement, our longings and obligations to each other.""-Jennifer Grotz
