Description
Book SynopsisA sweeping achievement from a poet whose rhythms are as alive to the roll and tang of syllables on the tongue as they are to the circulation of blood and sap (Rosanna Warren, Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize citation).
Trade Review"[Baker's] work evinces the moral courage of keeping still in the landscape... He is heir to such writers as Henry David Thoreau... and Robert Frost... To read Baker's poems collected in this way is to appreciate the full range of their formal resources, their attunement to cycles and processes rather than to mere outcomes and effects." -- The New Yorker
"This career retrospective reveals Baker as a peerless poet of the natural world." -- Editors’ Choice - The New York Times Book Review
