Hardback. Offers a collection of poems where an exacting eye is cast on nature. The poet's perspective is observant, stringent, and very human, bringing both intellect and emotion to the page.

Series: The German List. Num Pages: 128 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 127 x 15. Weight in Grams: 227.
