In his first book of verse poems since 1988, Morton Marcus shows the variety of moods that have characterized his poetry from the start. His imaginative leaps become somesaults of language through which he lands on both feet in the everyday world, engaging the most salient aspects of the human condition. Since 1988, Marcus has published two books of prose poems, but he has continued to write his most private meditations, many of which make up the contents of this volume, in verse.
