In this volume inspired by the impending death of his mother, Wesley McNair, long a poet of New England places, takes a new path, exploring her homeplace in the Ozarks of Southern Missouri. The book's linked poems describe characters and events with the small, telling details for which McNair is noted, yet it also includes large themes: hope, delusion, family struggles, and lost selves. But the most important theme of all is reconcil¬iation, as McNair makes a final attempt to understand, and even to embrace, his mother. Combining humor, sorrow, and his unique gift for narrative, this is McNair's most ambitious and moving collection, showing yet again why Philip Levine has called him "one of the great storytellers of contemporary poetry," and a poet with "a profound love and understanding of people and a superb ear."
