The eagerly awaited follow-up to his critically acclaimed collection The Daily Mirror, The Evening Sun gathers together 150 of David Lehman's favorite "daily poems" from 1999 and 2000 into a brilliant chronicle of a poet's heart and mind as the last century ends and a new one begins.

Following in the footsteps of such poets as Emily Dickinson, William Stafford, and Frank O'Hara, David Lehman began writing a poem a day in 1996 and found the experience so rewarding that he continued for the next two years. During that time, some of these poems appeared in various journals and on Web sites, including The Poetry Daily site, which ran thirty of Lehman's poems in as many days throughout the month of April 1998. For The Daily Mirror, Lehman has selected the best of these "daily poems" -- each tied to a specific occasion or situation -- and telescoped two years into one. Spontaneous and immediate, but always finely crafted and spiced with Lehman's signature irony and wit, the poems are akin to journal entries charting the passing of time, the deaths of great men and women, the news of the day. Jazz, Sinatra, the weather, love, poetry and poets, movies, and New York City are among their recurring themes. A departure from Lehman's previous work, this unique volume provides the intimacy of a diary, full of passion, sound, and fury, but with all the aesthetic pleasure of poetry. More a party of poems than a standard collection, The Daily Mirror presents an exciting new way to think about poetry.

On David Lehman’s SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Deconstruction and the Fall of Paul de Man Whatever happened to deconstruction? The term is now slang for fancy analysis, but as dogma it is dead in academe. This is the book that killed it. Fearlessly cutting through the calculated obfuscation so characteristic of deconstruction, Lehman gives the only clear explanation of it ever written. He intertwines brilliant literary criticism, an art he rescues from the self-importance and obscurantism of deconstruction, with the extraordinary biography of one of its most prominent exponents—a Yale professor who concealed his past as a Nazi sympathizer, abandoned his first wife and family, and wove an elaborate literary theory that conveniently touts the impossibility of truth. “Superb…an exciting, lucid book informed by two qualities in increasingly short supply in academic circles: old-fashioned moral rigor and plain old common sense…. Fascinating. . . . It stands as a lucid and fiercely intelligent study of the disturbing implications of deconstruction, and at the same time, as an impassioned argument for a more humane study of literature.””—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “Brilliant.”—Raymond Tallis, The Times Literary Supplement “David Lehman’s landmark Signs of the Times has served as a turning point in the literary culture wars.”—New Oxford Review “Highly readable.”—The American Scholar “Brilliant and highly readable . . . an important book.”—The Boston Globe “A bracing masterpiece…a book guaranteed to produce rapid heart beat in literary intellectuals. . . . Lehman superbly synthesizes the events of the de Man debacle. . . . Signs of the Times exemplifies invigorating cultural criticism. . . . It’s an immense pleasure to read.”—Newsday “A superbly written, eminently accessible account. . . Lehman’s analysis of the double scandal of Paul de Man is a tour de force.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Vividly written, thoroughly researched, even-tempered and readable. . . . an especially compelling introduction to deconstruction and its consequences.” —The Wall Street Journal “Lehman’s prose sparkles and he writes with disarming good humor underlying seriousness and as much clarity as the subject will stand.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
