Description
This collection spans more than a quarter century of published work, including selections from five previous award-winning books, and makes available for the first time the full range of Sze's remarkable poetry. Through the startling juxtaposition of images, Sze reveals the interconnectedness, the interdependency of things and ideas, always with an ear attuned to pitch and cadence.
