Summary:

"Exploring and delineating the space between nature and culture, the poems of this collection anchor themselves in the timely and the timeless. Rich and diverse in their formal intricacy, they move with ease from narrative to meditation, from close physical observation to the haunts of memory, and from lyric sorrow to the pleasure of living in the world. The book's fifty-three poems are divided into five parts"-- Provided by publisher.
