In this, his third book of poetry, Garrett presents recent poems that enhance a reputation already well established for charm of language, a frank and perceptive approach to experience, strong images, and a large understanding of life and feelings. The three sections comprising the book are well differentiated, moving from the casually actual to the neatly satirical to depth poems.
