Description
Poetry. The poems in this collection are concerned with the moods and forces that shape and destroy life. At the book's core, themes of silence, restlessness, loss, and growth form a patterned sequence, while images of birds, water, and darkness elegize both the personal and the historic. A CHRIST OF THE ICE—FLOES, Wevill's second book, is highly evolved and full of heavy, sensitive poems that foreshadow an inimitable body of work.
