I wanted not a tract  but a tapestry in which making is seen in the context of the other processessexuality  mortalityinseparable from it.\" \"Bidart has patiently amassed as profound and original a body of work as any now being written in this country. He has given form for our age to what is most urgent and most private in the human soul: the ordeals of solitude and mortality and hunger and  recently  that action through which being speaks: the drive to make or create. Bidarts poems sound like no one elses; they look like no one elses. . . . He is  in the feeling of our jury  one of the great poets of our time.\"Louise Glck  jury chair  2001 Wallace Stevens Award The Academy of American Poets The inaugural edition in Sarabandes Quarternote Chapbook Series which will feature a select group of poets by invitation only Frank Bidarts collections of poetry include Desire (1997)  which received the 1998 Bobbitt Prize for Poetry from the Library of Congress and the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize  and was nominated for the National Book Award  the National Book Critics Circle Award  and the Pulitzer Prize; In the Western Night: Collected Poems 1965-90 (1990); The Sacrifice (1983); The Book of the Body (1977); and Golden State (1973).
