Poetry. "David Sofield's poems, in this distinguished collection, are the work of a subtle, meditative mind and a keen sensorium. Characteristically, they question and re-question their sense of something seen or perhaps of something heard"-Richard Wilbur. "The poems are reflective, subtle, clever, and neatly turned"-Brad Leithauser. Sofield's poems have appeared in Poetry, The New Yorker, The Yale Review, The New Republic, The New Criterion, and the Southwest Review. He teaches at Amherst College.
