A History of Color: New and Selected Poems

Stanley Moss' A History Of Color is an impressively presented and highly recommended poetry anthology emphasizing intellectual exploration and contemplation. Subtle shifts of mood distinguish the free-verse reflections on the absurdities and contradictions of life. The Return: It was justice to see her nude haunches/backing toward me again after the years,/familiar as water after long thirst./Now like a stream she is, and I can lie beside/running my hand over the waters, or sleep;/but the water is colder, the gullies darker,/the rapids that threw me down have shallowed;/I can walk across.
