Book Synopsis
A meditation on the body as a source of joy, anxiety, and regeneration, this collection extends the capacity of the lyric to articulate human feeling while considering the complications of love, both human and divine, and the distinctions between them. It is more deeply an attempt to focus on the process of human creativity in general.

Trade Review
"In my opinion, Phoenix Poets - which includes David Ferry, Turner Cassity, Donald Davie, Tom Sleigh, Alan Shapiro and the like - is second to none." - Richard Wilbur "No poet I know of is better at showing convincingly the courage by which happiness is seized or at conveying joy simply.... Gildroy's style is classicism made light as a feather, true as a plumb line." - Calvin Bedient, Boston Review"
