Poetry. "This book is a life intersecting with many lives. Poems that read like narratives traverse years of suffering, learning and delight. They open doors of Provincetown, summer camp, prep school, the mental ward, Russian novels. With unerring rhythm and in countless ways Marc Hofstadter sings his passion to the reader's heart"--Neal Oxenhandler.
