review 1: I was excited to read the forty or so new poems, but disappointed that they didn't seem to break any new ground from the poet's previous book, Time and Materials. Moreover, the flat almost dull tone of these new poems just seemed to tread water. There wasn't a poem or line that stayed with me, that I could mentally summon after I'd read it. Despite this, I remain an ardent admirer of Hass' first three or four books -- of every volume up through Sun Under Wood. Those new to Hass might want to buy this volume in order to have all his books under one cover.
review 2: Normaly I dont read poems but this book was ok I liked some poems and didnt like others, but I think it was good overall. This book of poems has poems that will make you laugh, cry, happy, and sad lik... moree any good collection of poems should. I had never heard of this author so it exposed me to someone new and I will definatly try to read more of his stuff. I also liked the cover on this book alot and the title and the whole nature feel while reading this book. Overall I will say it was a worth while read. less
