False Prophet

Author: Stan Rice
Publisher: Knopf Publishing Group
Category: Poetry Books, Poetry By Individual Poets, Anthologies (non-poetry)
Book Format: Paperback

Stan Rice, who died in December 2002, was a poet of unique, uncompromising vision. Joy and brutality, faith and faithlessness, the beauty of truth and, at times, of untrut--these opposing forces come together one last time in his final book of poetry, a haunting collection of psalms.



Beginning with his Psalm 151--that is, taking up where the Bible leaves off--Rice calls us to his own kind of prayer and contemplation. Lord, hear me out, he begins. At the point of our need / The storehouse shares its shambles. An elegant, passionate, tragic lament for our condition, Rice's homemade psalms exhort us indirectly to accept our fate--the world as it is. In the brave, unshrinking manner that has characterized his whole career, Rice has written a profound farewell.

Stan Rice (1942 - 2002) was the author of seven previous collections of poetry. For many years he was a professor at San Francisco State University. He received the Edgar Allan Poe Award of the Academy of American Poets, among other awards. Rice, who was also a painter, was a longtime resident of New Orleans, where he lived with his wife, the novelist Anne Rice, and their son, the novelist Christopher Rice.
