Reviews

[Mat · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mixture of beautifully written lyrical poetry and prose. The poems feature many themes found in other Duncan books such as love, self-discovery/identity, solitude, fear and desire/lust. A nice short work that can be read in one sitting by the San Francisco Renaissance poet, Robert Duncan.
