About this title

Synopsis

After award-winning books on environment and scores of articles, this is Gus Speth's second book of poetry. Speth has organized this collection around four ways we address the world: Love, Howl, Laugh, and Remember, which "cover a lot of life's territory." He writes in one poem that "the world bends with the weight of massive contradiction," and, as these poems depict, so do our lives.
