Praise for this book

Here is the mature work of a poet who has always managed to delight-but who now demands something more of us. He asks us to enter the twenty-first century with open eyes: attentive to the past, eager for the future, naming what we love. -- Judith Kitchen

Behind Stephen Dunn's obsession with what he calls the ordinary lies an immensely complicated and delicate search for understanding and I think for peace. . . . He is a poet of wisdom, and he is a healer and a teacher. . . . The music is perfect as the art is hidden, and some of the poems 'Turning Fifty, ' for example are unbearably beautiful. He is a magnificent poet. --Gerald Stern"
