The Nearness of the Way You Look Tonight

A selection of recent poems by a poet of whom James Schuyler wrote: "Wit is never distant from the scenes he invents, a metaphysical wit suggestive of Marvell, and one that is not satirical but informed with pity. His joy in words, and the things words adumbrate, is infectious … enlightenment. To me, he is the most stimulating poet of his generation."
