In his seventh book, Carl Dennis explores the ways in which our
wishes - those in our power to fulfill at any moment and those that
have no chance of ever being realized - define who we are. While
some of the poems view wishing as a failure to do justice to the
world we have, others regard it as a recognition that no present,
however rich, can satisfy the imagination, and suggest that one of
the functions of poetry is to keep significant wishes alive. In
showing with moving clarity how wishes are essential to giving
shape and direction to the moment, these poems make use of a rich
variety of genres: elegy, advice, meditation, warning, consolation,
and prophecy.
