Críticas:

"The poems both tell fascinating stories and meditate passionately on the nature of storytelling. The range of these poems-geographically, emotionally, poetically-is astonishing" -- Andrew Hudgins. Winner of 1991 Poets' Prize. "Jarman weaves a spell of stories only half remembered, an understated intirigue slowly gathering intensity." Virginia Quarterly Review "Mark Jarman is one of the most thoughtful and adroit poets writing these days, a man with handsome ambitions." The Georgia Review The Hudson Review" Virginia Quarterly Review" The Georgia Review" Booklist" "Mark Jarman's new collection is one of the best examples of the new narrative's powers and techniques...Each superb narrative seduces us into a story and then, when we are caught, leads us through levels of perception until we realize that we are always part of what we hear."-- "The Hudson Review" "Jarman...weaves a spell of stories only half remembered, an understated intirigue slowly gathering intensity."-- "Virginia Quarterly Review" "Mark Jarman is... one of the most thoughtful and adroit poets writing these days, a man with handsome ambitions."-- "The Georgia Review" "Jarman is a poet in whose work intelligence is as important, obvious, and strong as emotion."-- "Booklist" Jarman is a poet in whose work intelligence is as important, obvious, and strong as emotion.

Reseña del editor:

Yet, these are ultimately poems of survival. Jarman explores the redemptive power of the imagination and the ways in which we transform experience into stories we tell about our lives. His characters vividly express the will to cling to existence and understand it as they pursue the meaning of family, home, identity, and love. Invented memories resurrect a forgotten past, opening doors of possibility and adding a strange richness to everyday life. "Flowers of the flesh,/ Hung on the cliffs to watch and be watched./ Don't let me see reproach, don't let me see it,/ In your eyes. Let me be the only one/ Who knows and tells you."
