In his Afterword to this finely honed and memorable collection, written over some 40 years' time, Hazard Adams characterizes these poems as "those I am willing to stand by." He has chosen well. This is a radiant volume, rich with imagery and enlivened with a wry and witty sensibility, its five parts charged with the sweep of a small drama. These are poems that wear well and welcome repeated reading. They are a pleasure to read aloud.
