Sobre este artículo
New York::: Knopf,,, 1998... First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. The exquisite poems collected here draw on history, mythology, landscape, and personal memories to weave a rich tapestry of images that reveal the longing for--and expose the anguish over--lost loves, homes, and language, as the poet contemplates scents and gestures and evokes a time when "handwriting occurred on waves, / on leaves, the scripts of smoke" and remembers a woman's "laughter with its / intake of breath. Uhh huh."
