Poetry. "While Marshall usually deals with the harsher realities of life--e.g., the passage of time, the difficulties of love, and the inevitability of loss and death--he does so with such verve that one is never tempted to see him in a negative light.... Marshall is a master image maker and an original voice at a time when many American poets are doing imitations of each other"--Choice.
