This volume of poetry illustrates a new side of the author of The
Carnivore and Suits for the Dead. The wit, the toughness, the shining
lyric clarity of the earlier books are still here, but they have been
joined by a quiet understanding, a joyfulness, and an acceptance of
things as they are that indicates the poet has moved into a new and most
exciting period.
Originally published in 1969.
