A new collection of poems by Samuel Hazo; the majority of which are published here for the first time. The New York Times Book Review wrote of Hazo as having "a gift for phrase-making and for incisive moral judgments," and Richard Wilbur, the Pulitzer prize-winning poet, said "each of Hazo's poems is a spare sparkling flow of good talk . . . one relishes his jauntiness, his ever-varied grammatical attack and the witty surplus of his phrasing."
