The thirty-nine poems in this book -- the first collection by Lawrence Raab -- show why this young writer is already being recognized as a poet of extraordinary talent. He writes of magic and dreams, of real departures and mythical journeys, of vampires, alchemists and artists. Sometimes mysterious but always clear and direct, his poetry moves through the secrets of memory, silence, and "the relics of evening" to discover "the point of a proper opening / glorious / with what might touch you / and lead us both to life . . . . / as simple as a sentence _ _ _ as clear / as the space around a name." These are poems to return to and remember.
