The poem is a many-chambered haunted house. This meek volume amounts to a hamlet of those eldritch abodes. Its denizens are the Whispery People, curious neighbors always closer than you think. They are not without a sense of humor. The environing landscape is mountainous and sea-girt, the vegetation a mosaic of forest and meadow. The music throughout is birdsong. John P. O'Grady's previous books are Pilgrims to the Wild; Grave Goods: Essays of a Peculiar Nature; and Certain Trees: In the Catskill Mountains. He is co-editor of the anthology Literature and the Environment. In the late 20th century, he served as Poetry Editor for the journal Terra Nova.
