About this book
This gathering draws on three decades of work by an American poet known for close, patient attention to ponds, woods, owls, foxes and weather. The poems are short, lucid and unornamented, often beginning in an ordinary walk and turning toward a question about attention, mortality or how to live. Grief, solitude and wonder sit side by side without grandeur. Because each piece stands alone and few run past a page, the collection suits reading in small stretches, and the selection offers a clear route through the development of one of the most widely read voices in modern American poetry.
