About this title

Review:

"Anyone who cares about poetry knows his work ... his allegiance to the real, his swerving toward the philosophical, his refusal to back away from the edge. . . . Booth's subtle, refined portraits somehow reveal the lives he enters without invading them".-- The New York Times Book Review
