"A poet in which a sly sense of humour is coupled with a respect for whatever truths a poem can wring out of experience." Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate (2001 2003)"
Asking what the word ""spirit"" means for those who do not believe in an afterlife, these rich, courageous poems are above all enigmatic. The central poem, ""Kevin,"" suggests that in the absence of God, artists must be the ones to elevate the soul and provide hope and wonder through their work.
