Nina Bogin writes of her second collection that she has 'drawn together poems that deal with the personal - family, friendship, love and loss; poems about landscape and place; and, poems that try to come to grips with the larger world and its chaos. Uniting the poems is a common thread: the natural world and its impenetrable presence which, though threatened, remains a source of renewal and, therefore, of faith'.

Reviews
'Nina Bogin's poems are impeccable in craft, elegant in their economy, and emotionally profound; they are arrows, swift and quiet, hitting their mark, sinking deep. There is no better poet of her generation, and few as good' - Denise Levertov'Her imagery is disciplined and vivid, communicated in vocabulary and phrasing that are simple yet rich' - Library Journal
