A new collection of poems by Samuel Hazo---the majority of which are published here for the first time. The New York Times Book Review wrote of Hazo as having a gift for phrase-making and for incisive moral judgments. Richard Wilbur the Pulitzer prize-winning poet said each of Hazos poems is a spare sparkling flow of good talk . . . one relishes his jauntiness his ever-varied grammatical attack and the witty surplus of his phrasing.
