Poetry. "This book is the work of a keen, observant mind still blessedly open to every intellectual, emotional and aesthetic temptation: metaphysics, speculations on history and art, the accidents of travel, random observations of daily life, memory, formal experimentation, personal experience. Nothing escapes Michael T. Young's notice, from the cosmic to the microscopic, and in the best of these challenging, sometimes difficult poems, that notice is transformed into images so arresting and beautiful that they stop the heart for a moment and enter into the reader's memory for good" -Rhina P. Espaillat.
