Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Skinner's second book contains exquisitely crafted poems distinguished by the desire to work within traditional forms and to explore intensely personal emotionstwo desires that often work against each other. Though admirably conceived, a first section of "prayers" offers several poems that end by substituting craft for sincerity when the subjects stray from spirituality. The third section's 19 "Sonnets to My Daughters Twenty Years in the Future" are better suited to the loosely formal structure, though some are overextended and others end too abruptly. But in the second section, which breaks out of the rigid formal structure, the poems improve dramatically, showing the poet at his best.
