Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In a tender book taut with curiosity about where loss fits in a life, poet Stern offers rich new work.

From Library Journal
An overpowering sense of nostalgia is the motive force that drives the intensely lyrical poems of Stern's eighth book of poetry. Each poem is a poignant song of love and longing as the poet, now past middle age, looks back on the transcendent moments of his childhood. "How much I loved you in those days,/ how free I felt," he says of a first love. He remembers his father who owned "fifty wide ties," his friends and mentors (Kenneth Burke and Guy Daniels), his estranged wife, now like a flower "pink with brown edges." But mostly he remembers nature in the form of possum skulls, sheep, blackbirds, meadowlarks, trees, and wildflowers. "All things/ aspire to music," says Stern, and his poems are musical transcriptions of the beauty and pain that define life itself. Recommended for all poetry collections.
