Publisher Description: The poems of a man in exile, this refined, painful, and haunting collection deals with the loss of a community and social context. The keynote is regret, expressed in a series of personal poems about the author's loss of his eyesight, and in dramatic monologues about the waste of effort in the lives of great men. His confessional poems strike out at an unlovely world"--Library Journal. |
