In his second collection of poems, Peter Campion writes about the
struggle of making a life in America, about the urge 'to carve a
space' for love and family from out of the vast sweep of modern
life. Coursing between the political and personal with astonishing
ease, Campion writes at one moment of his disturbing connection to
the public political structure, symbolized by Robert McNamara (who
makes a startling appearance in the title poem), then in the next
of a haunting reverie beneath a magnolia tree, representing his
impulse to escape the culture altogether. He moves through various
forms just as effortlessly, as confident in rhymed quatrains as in
slender, tensed free verse. In "The Lions", Campion achieves a
fusion of narrative structure and lyric intensity that proves him
to be one of the very best poets of his generation.
