ABOUT THIS BOOK
"Harper's is a poetry of classically unadorned statement, a direct,
unflinching record of a man alive in his time. When he is at his best,
in both his public and his private voice, he creates a language humming
with emotion and ennobled by a deeply felt human dignity."
-- Virginia Quarterly Review
". . . one of the finest poets of our time."
-- San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
