Clear-eyed, soaring poems capture our intimacy with the natural world and represent best of the Pulitzer and NBCC finalist's career.

This is my first time reading the poet.
I enjoyed every poem in this collection. I found the poems very absorbing. Hogan's poems are rich, intense, vivid, deep and painfully vivid at times. I liked the fact that this collection contains some of her earlier and later poems; you can see how she develops over time and how some themes are returned to again and again. I particularly enjoyed Turtle, Disappearances, Eclipse II, The Lost Girls and Fat.
