Two long poems, "Veteran's Day" and "Terza Rima," join several others, along with the title poem, in this volume of work produced in the last breaths of the 20th century by a poet who helped establish the bounds of poetry during the second half of it. Here she further elucidates the themes of her career--history, the roles of art, the nature of gender, and the multifaceted meanings of humanity.
