Published inย The New Yorker,ย La Nouvelle Revue Franรงaise, and in nearly a hundred magazines and poetry journals from Los Angeles to Tokyo, from Lawrence, Kansas to Rome, Madrid, Paris, London, Beijing, and Bucharest, poems by Barry Gifford have been describing and changing our world for nearly half a century. Here in one volume for the first time is the poet's own choices from his nine previous collections, as well as a rich selection of new poems.ย Imagining Paradiseย sums up the tremendous achievement of an underground poet who lasted.

The author of more than forty works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, which have been translated into over twenty-five languages,ย BARRY GIFFORDย writes distinctly American stories for readers around the globe. From screenplays and librettos to his acclaimed Sailor and Lula novels, Giffordโs writing is as distinctive as it is difficult to classify. Born in the Seneca Hotel on Chicagoโs Near North Side, he relocated in his adolescence to New Orleans. The move proved significant: throughout his career, Giffordโs fictionโpart-noir, part-picaresque, always entertainingโis born of the clash between what he has referred to as his โNorthern Sideโ and โSouthern Side.โ Gifford has been recipient of awards from PEN, the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Library Association, the Writers Guild of America and the Christopher Isherwood Foundation. His novelย Wild at Heartย was adapted into the 1990 Palme dโOr-winning film of the same name. Gifford lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
