Publisher Description: In his masterly fourth collection, a poet known for his delight in language achieves an innovative fusion of the narrative and the lyrical in beautifully crafted poems that probe relations between lovers, husbands and wives, friends, enemies, fathers and sons.
With compassion and imagination Leithauser enters into the mysteries of lives both real and fictional: a middle-aged businessman who marries his deceased wife's twin; the suicide of a beautiful young woman; an elderly couple's confused love; a young, wounded World War II soldier returning to his fiancee.
As always, Leithauser's poems about the natural world are precise and engaging. A marsh in March, the play of sunlight underneath a bridge, contemplation of a moonless earth, all lead the poet -- and the reader -- into meditation and wonder.
