| | | Annotation: 27 years after her first book of poetry, ANTARCTIC TRAVELER, won the National Book Critics Circle Award, Katha Pollitt has finally produced a second volume of verse. Pollitt excels at describing those rare and precious moments in life where sudden attention to a seemingly insignificant detail momentarily reveals the essence hiding behind existence. She transforms ordinary observations into profound utterances, and shifts our perception of treasured faiths and myths to hint at divergent new interpretations. Her meter and choice of subject matter conjure the spirit of Elizabeth Bishop, as she brilliantly scours various versions of experience for enlightenment.
