New York: Knopf, 1999. First edition. Paperback. A near fine copy. Proof of the first American edition. Signed by the author on the title page. The author's first new book of poetry since The Cinnamon Peeler. The exquisite poems collected here draw on history, mythology, landscape, and personal memories to weave a rich tapestry of images that reveal the longing for--and expose the anguish over--lost loves, homes, and language, as the poet contemplates scents and gestures and evokes a time when "handwriting occurred on waves, / on leaves, the scripts of smoke" and remembers a woman's "laughter with its / intake of breath. Uhh huh." Crafted with lyrical delicacy and seductive power, Handwriting reminds us of Michael Ondaatje's stature as one of the finest poets writing today. Bound in light blue printed wrappers with some light page creases (production flaw most likely). Shows the American edition publication date as March 8, 1999.
