This volume of selected poems by John Davies draws from his previous five collections. Adroit in a wide variety of styles and forms, Davies produces telling satire alongside the perceptively delicate and observational, confirming the breadth of his poetic vision. Davies has lived in Utah, Michigan, and Washington state, and the tension between rootedness and movement, between belonging and the cosmopolitan, is a theme that runs throughout his work. Nature and humankind's relationship with it plays a significant role.
