'Savoring the perversity of power, I opened my hand." from 'Adventuring" 'In that world within our world The explosion of Armageddon " from 'A Conundrum Visited." 'Oh Greedy Race to want much more than human " from 'Speed" 'Thirty-four million miles apart, Through space so narrow that Your passing's like a kiss." from 'On Seeing Mars" (August 27, 2003) All the elements of fine ballads, free and rhymed verses, sonnets, and a villanelle are present in this volume. The past collides with the present in surprising images, and the vivid future is both possible and probable.
