Publisher : Robert Bagg’s poetry has been praised for its power, grace, and sensuality, as well as for its humor and sly, knowing irony. In this, his latest collection, he offers some of the best of his earlier work as well as a selection of new poems. Bagg’s forms include elegies, long narratives, lyrics, a sonnet sequence, and meditations on religious and philosophic themes. He writes of such contemporary pre occupations as nuclear war, terrorism, suicide, madness, divorce, and on such classical themes as the death of friends, difficult or lost love, eroticism, time, and memory–ancient topics that stir up primal longings and fears in all of us.
