One of his best

Winner of the Walt Whitman Prize for his first book, Eric Pankey demonstartes with this, his fourth collection, that he is ceratinly a master. The poems in this collection are meditative, concerned with the "spiritual." There are times in this book when Pankey seems much like Charles Wright in his subject matter, but always there is Pankey at the helm. A beautiful book.//C.
