She'll Never Want More Than This

Poems divided into five sections: 1. Survivors; 2. She'll Never Want More Than This; 3. Interiors; 4. Shadow Canoe; 5. That Fire. " These poems, in their stout reckonings, embody best that element Wallace Stevens associates with mobility. They argue, but always without a hint of declamation, toward conclusions that reassure like the markers on some dark trail. Whether they direct themselves to the earth, the moon, the mountain, or to man and woman's love, its griefs and joys, they do so in a voice that is poetry's own. They help us to understand our lives." - Robert Burlingame
