Description
This collection of poems is about the natural and accidental and the way in which they collaborate in our thought, our history, our lives, and in the very stars.
“I don’t think I know of another poet who has such vertical range and depth; Buckley manages to have one foot in the physical muck and tenderness of the world and the other foot planted among the stars and galaxies of the universe. What I like also is his formal restlessness, the different ways he uses to reach his subjects.”—Peter Everwine
“There is a deep nostalgia here, but also wisdom and common sense, and beautiful writing. I welcome him at his maturest, poet of stardust.”—Gerald Ster
