- Summary:
- Visits from the Seventh is a highly original debut.Arvio's wry, uncanny poems take the form of conversations between a woman and a throng on invisible presences--visitors, as she calls them--who counsel, challenge, cajole and comfort her.Together they murmur about destiny, the moon, a walk on Park Avenue, sex, ambition, dreams.
