Hands down the best American book of the 20th century. A bold claim I know, but I stand by it. There's a great little essay on Frank Standford at Alsop Review "It was Lorca who noted that poets have to be able to use the image to fuse details of the infinitesimally small with astronomic intuitions."

By the way if you go to buy this, don't do it through Amazon, way way too expensive. Try Amherst Books, the sometimes get it in stock.
