In these taut, sharp poems written mainly in the 1990s, Daniel Weissbort
has developed a new way of looking at himself and at the world.
Experience, memory, dreams and ordinary life supply the poems with rich
and varied subjects. The result is an alert, intelligent, open poetry
whose surface lightness belies the power of its material. Plain yet
intimate in tone, the poems work with the wit and concision of epigram.
