Know about the book -

North Street and Other Poems is written by Jonathan Galassi and published by Harper Perennial. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0060953705 (ISBN 10) and 9780060953706 (ISBN 13).

The 40 poems in this outstanding collection concern themselves with the space between Turning Forty and Turning Fifty, between the assumption of maturity and the sightings of limits. Each filled with a mesmerizing beauty, poignancy, and grace, they speak of an otherwhere, in which the water of memory is washed by the water of forgetfulness, and the touch of forgiveness allows a man to go free. Drawing their inspiration from nature, history, and personal experience, the world outside and within -- and on the treasure house of language itself -- North Street is a fresh and original addition to the annals of modern poetry.
