No Constant Hues

No Constant Hues is a work of passionate attention- celebration and lament for a world intensely perceived and savored. In its poems, readers will find particular places, especially semi-wild ones; works of visual art and the acts that made them; people, animals and plants, tenderly yet sharply observed. In these poems, love of the world is matched by love of language, made manifest in precision of meaning, movement, and sound. This is a book, says poet and critic Lisa Steinman, both quiet and fierce.
