These poems were poignant enough to read at the dinner table to my family and in the car driving up snowy back-roads hunting for a Christmas tree with friends. Both audiences found these poems moving and good listening. I think any book that can earn that kind of praise deserves the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. ( ) Poetry is an emotive experience for me. I liked what Strand wrote about: winter, solitude, transience, the passage of time. The poems I liked especially are: Old Man Leaves Party The Next Time The Night, the Porch Morning, Noon, and Night A Piece of the Storm A Suite of Appearances I, IV In Memory of Joseph Brodsky Some Last Words The View geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Strand's poems occupy a place that exists between abstraction and the sensuous particulars of experience. It is a place created by a voice that moves with unerring ease between the commonplace and the sublime. The poems are filled with "the weather of leavetaking," but they are also unexpectedly funny. The erasure of self and the depredations of time are seen as sources of sorrow, but also as grounds for celebration. This is one of the difficult truths these poems dramatize with stoicism and wit.
