Reviews

"This is Stanley Moss's finest book so far, an impressive achievement." - John Ashbery "In every surprising poem, every song to life, beautiful life, Moss, by turns giddy and sorrowful, expresses a sacred sensuality and an earthy holiness." - Booklist "A poet of thoughtful melancholy and modest praises, of spiritual questioning and self-interrogation." - Library Journal
