"In the spare, haunting vision of these poems, the familiar takes on a disturbing, often sinister, presence. Life's horrors - violence, hunger, poverty, illness, loneliness - lurk unnervingly in the back ground. And yet, despite the horror, a sense of wonder pervades these poems, transforming the ordinary world into a mysterious place of unknowable forces."--BOOK JACKET.
