From Library Journal:

In this, her second full-length collection of poems (following Day of the Body , Ion Bks., 1986), Frost continues her investigation and celebration of the natural world, the living Earth, and the living who populate it. The language is natural and real, with the ordinary as well as the extraordinary made memorable. The poems are demanding, the syntax rich, and the rhythms strange and captivating. "Say the sea is to be questioned. Below the bounds/ of this estate the chimera our madness does not cease to reinvent/ and which we dare not think alive, crawls in a thick ooze." Much is made of the mythic, archetypal, and personal landscapes, where the beautiful and terrible come together. Though awed by the world around her, Frost is no child; hers are the poems of an adult, the kind for which poet James Wright hoped. A fitting addition to any large poetry collection.
