The lyric poems in this collection are divided into several sections: "The Good Little Soldier," "Beneath the Vast and Silent Sky," "Innocent Exultation," and "Beyond That Valley of Wildflowers." Though they grow increasingly personal, all the poems are part of the author's physical and spiritual journey through a complex life spanning the Beats through the present and ending, as the poems show, in peace. These poems are both exquisitely crafted and accessible to every reader in a deeply personal way.
