Synopses & Reviews
Winner of the 1998 National Poetry Series. Nathaniel Mackey, who selected this volume for the National Poetry Series in 1998, wrote: "Conceptually rich as well as technically inventive, the poems (in this volume) advance a wary measure, a wise, beautifully gruff, ongoing music. They haunt while being read and well after, refusing to settle. This work which would rescue and retrieve is work of ever-shifting appraisal, caveats woven throughout, work of unremitting mindfulness and reach."
