Description

Book Synopsis
The poems in this volume draw from a legacy larger than the limits of personal history, body and brand. They reflect a world that contains AIDS and cancer, and Caravaggio and van der Werff. Nature, interpersonal relationships, and the cultures of the world are all fair game.

Trade Review
“The most exciting quality of Hightower’s work is its poetic and paradoxical unifying of emotional and intellectual depth with a marvelous quietness. Its lively incidents and anecdotes are grounded, rooted, in meditative awareness.”---—Marie Ponsot, winner of the 1998 National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry and author of The Bird Catcher
