Summary:

Roald Hoffmann's fourth collection of poetry, Soliton, brings the full scope of his outlook-he writes of nature and bittersweet love, and on Jewish themes and his Holocaust survival. His poems are sometimes funny and always carefully observed and reflective. His work is intriguing, mysterious, ambitious, and accomplished.
