VANISHING POINTS, the eighth book of poems by Gary Metras, explores themes of change, alteration, diminishment, even death in society, family, and nature, along with the effects, the struggles, and the joys of love. These poems reinforce and extend what critic and poet Robert Peters wrote of an earlier book: "Metras is an authentic, unpretentious moving voice. These are poems to read aloud, linger over, and share with friends."--Connecticut Poetry Review Poetry.
