Like the early work of Stanley Kunitz, Cory gives us profound Yeatsian meditations on morality. These are unforgettable poems where the light of \"sapphire hope\" rises from dark \"crevices of heart and soul.\" Forests play symphonies, sunset \"burns the dregs of day,\" and ancient battles, like dead bards, live again in Cory's timeless masterpiece.
