An Inland Seas Poetry Book

"Song of the Black Corona," "Choral Lines from the Sumerian," the title poem, "The Wooden Trap"—these poems say that the world is on fire but only the steadiest and most masterful hand can show us the burning. Kevin Cantwell's steady and masterful poems blend poise and intimacy in a style that is his own and built for the ages."

–Frank Bidart

"It is rare to find, in a first book of poetry, such a heady store of lyric precision and so much exquisite evidence of a world so keenly fathomed and observed."

—Jacqueline Osherow
