Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Hell, No!" He will "not go gentile into that good night."

In this volume of poetry, Rienzi Crusz's preoccupations have not substantially changed, but his perspectives have. Deeply conscious of time and place, now, he brings here the broader existential concerns of love, home, and mortality, and tragedy and depsair. Nature provides a backdrop for inspiration and traquility.

The journey continues. Rienzi Crusz "must wizard a track through his own screaming weed." As he meditates on the edge of silence, he goes festily through the scowl of age, distance and time, lovingly through the many idioms of the sun, as he revels in the poetic spaces with the "singing metaphor," the dance of words.
