No One Took a Country from Me

Description:

“The poems repeatedly place the reader sensually into a setting—usually natural, sometimes social—filled with overtones; they compel the reader to be alert to the scene’s significance. These glimpses of a cathedral, these family gardens, these landscapes so naturally described, occur without effort in the poems, but are also haunted by a sense of still deeper meaning: something big, something very everyday, something alarming.” —Bill Holshouser, <em>Ararat</em>
