Two of Wrigley's finest collections of poems are now together in one volume.''One of the finest new poets to come along in years: strong, imaginative, and resolute.'' -- James Dickey''An acute eye for authentic detail and a subtle ear for the rhythms and cadences of real speech, and what he has to say is worth hearing.'' -- Booklist''Robert Wrigley's poems of testimony and memory cast a fierce, clarifying, and ultimately healing light into the dark reaches of the American psyche.'' -- Edward Hirsch''Invigorating narratives . . . [an] abundance of intellectual and aesthetic rewards.'' -- Prairie Schooner''Against the inchoate and mortal powers, Wrigley's poems are whole.'' -- Stanley Plumley
