Columbus, OH: Ohio State University Press, 1996 Ohio State University Press, Columbus, OH. 1996. First Printing by Line Number. Inscribed on the title page by the author. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Black grained cloth boards and spine with bright copper lettering on the spine. 109 99 8vo. The poems in this book range from quiet six-line lyric to rollicking mini-epics; they go from homages to the classic sonnet sequence to poems in the form of prose essays or one act drama. This book has the overriding memory of his mother by cancer for which he produces themes of elegy, mourning, and lamentation with settings that move from ancient pharaonic burial chambers to one last day at a suburban Chicago nursing home. A clean pristine copy.
