One of America's preeminent formalist poets returns with yet another collection demonstrating the quick wit and technical elegance that have garnered praise on both sides of the Atlantic. "Jeffrey Burghauser's poetry tackles the eternal questions with verbal, intellectual and emotional precision."-Theodore Dalrymple, author of Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses (2005) and Spoilt Rotten: The Toxic Cult of Sentimentality (2010)
"He is a master of highly structured, traditional forms of poetry and he seems to inhabit the verse in a way that makes rhyme seem effortless. [...] Burghauser is among the most competent poets I have read in recent years, and among the most satisfying."-IVAN HEAD, Quadrant
