Inhaltsangabe

"Weaver's life studies and lyrics are imbued with a vivid sense of language, a vivid sense of the world, a vivid sense of their inseparability. And his tonal range—from unabashed passion to the subtlest velleity—is impressive indeed. This is a singular talent."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

'Weaver explores and rethinks questions of identity--that great American subject. Over the years, Michael Weaver has listened to a chorus of other voices, the inflections of the past, as they have come together to shape and enlarge his own distinctive, musical voice...He has carved a unique space for himself in contemporary poetry.' --Edward Hirsch
