The New Life, which takes its title from Dante’s celebration of courtly love, La Vita Nuova, is a journey through romantic love, the deaths of old friends, the ironies of history, and the losses and epiphanies of a long life of exploration and discovery.
"Tillinghast keeps re-blooming, reinventing, re-imagining, born and born again. At the heart of The New Life is a fire that warms and brightens and burns beyond “the cold miles of galaxies.” It is a gift that will not go out. And we are grateful for it.”
Richard Tillinghast has published seven other collections of poems, along with a critical memoir of Robert Lowell and two books of essays. A native of Memphis, he currently lives in rural Ireland.
