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.".
