Description

In his second book poems, Peters sees human shadows in a world of Blakean monsters, those he earlier confronted in SONGS FOR A SON, the elegy for his small son Richard. Stunning is a suite inspired by Tomasso Campanella's 17th century prison poems. The book concludes with two of Peters' best-known poems of rural life, "The Sow's Head" and "The Butchering."
