A new collection of poems by Samuel Hazo ; the majority of which are published here for the first time.
The New York Times Book Review wrote of Hazo as having a gift for phrase-making and for incisive moral judgments, and Richard Wilbur, the Pulitzer prize-winning poet, said each of Hazo's poems is a spare sparkling flow of good talk .
one relishes his jauntiness, his ever-varied grammatical attack and the witty surplus of his phrasing.
