In this, his third book of poetry, Garrett presents recent poems that
enhance a reputation already well established for charm of language, a
frank and perceptive approach to experience, strong images, and a large
understanding of life and feelings. The three sections comprising the
book are well differentiated, moving from the casually actual to the
neatly satirical to depth poems.
