Summary

Poetry. "Ranging from the cosmic to the witty this is a rich sampling of the poet's output. The poems are good-natured; some, like the title poem, communicate a sense of awe. The landscapes vary from rural upstate New York and Pennsylvania; to remote stone circles in Great Britain; to seascapes in the Gulf of Mexico; to the community of artists and writers not far from Gainesville, Florida, in the village of Cedar Key, where poems, stories, pictures and daily diets are iften fished from the sea"--Donald Petersen.
