The tightly rhymed quatrains in the new poems demonstrate Hollander's ability to achieve freedom through form, while his control in writing memoriam pieces allows him to explore complex themes such as loss, gain, difference, and effacement. The book also includes a sequence of captivating prose poems that celebrate the power of language.
This collection offers a unique insight into Hollander's work, with its diverse range of forms and styles. It is an excellent example of his skill as a poet and a writer.
