Description
"The theme of these poems is the exile of the spirit in this world and the painfully exciting, yet small margin in which return from exile is imaginable and perhaps even possible." "Boston is the setting of some of the early poems, and Ireland, the birthplace of Howe's mother, the geographic home of O'Clock, a series of poems whose subject is the spirit, many of which are included in this selection." "Metaphysics and the physical world play off each other in Howe's work."--BOOK JACKET.
