Accessible and wry, at times comic, and often mournful, Daniel
Anderson's poetry is relentlessly attentive to the splendors of the
natural world. But the poems collected here -- previously published
in such leading literary journals as Poetry, The Kenyon Review, The
Southern Review, The Yale Review, New England Review, and Southwest
Review -- are not relegated simply to the realm of pastoral
meditation. They give voice to the sorrowful and sometimes
unfortunate things we say and think. They chronicle, with both
precision and care, the many ways in which jubilation and lament
frequently reverse themselves. Above all else, each poem
crystallizes in its wake a freshly minted moment, one that
articulates an experience that reaches beyond the poet's own time
and place.
Sunflowers drenched in early evening sun; icy blue, explosive
waves along the rocky shores of Maine; September cotton "like
strange anachronistic snow" in Tennessee -- Anderson forges these
images into deep ruminations on love, shame, delight, loss, and
estrangement.
