From Booklist
Strand, a much honored poet, writes with deceptively offhanded elegance and wit that belie deep and haunting emotions and an acute attunement to the beauty and inexplicableness of life. No matter how spare his style, his work is lush with manifold meanings, a feat he performs to near perfection in this lithe collection, a book of lists, of list-poems. Even the table of contents can stand as a poem as it lists the subjects he uses as jumping-off points for entering the realm of the poetry, such as shadow, throat, hour, hand, island, chair, glass, dog, and sorrow. As Strand improvises on each theme in lean yet lyrical poems that resonate like koans with their odd, lovely, and teasing unions of reason and fancy, the full range of images, emotions, and thoughts associated with each object, act, or concept takes shape like a drawing, one line at the time. Startling visions, unexpected truths, an aura of wistfulness, and trills of playful humor waft from every page, and always the language is exact, musical, and transcendent. Donna Seaman

Review
Mark Strand’s most recent book is, more than mere poetry, just such a work of archaeology. -- Rain Tax, Spring 2001 --Rob O’Brien
