- Summary:
- Annotation 'Weaver explores and rethinks questions of identity--that great American subject. Over the years, Michael Weaver has listened to a chorus of other voices, the inflections of the past, as they have come together to shape and enlarge his own distinctive, musical voice ... He has carved a unique space for himself in contemporary poetry.' --Edward Hirsch.
