Summary:

"An extension of and a departure from previous explorations of family and art, these poems delve boldly into tangled realities of fatherhood, marriage, and poetry. Dealing with the day-to-day of family life--including the alert anxiety and remarkable beauty of caring for a child with cerebral palsy--these personal narratives illuminate the relationship that exists between poetry and a life fiercely lived"-- [Provided by publisher]
