The rhythms, quiet and conversational, are tightened at appropriate moments with remarkable effectiveness. His subtle grooming makes the poems here moving and effective, and they bring us, through their portraits of particular people and their re-creations of the natural world, to a richer appreciation of our own lives and the world in which we live them (675). Leslie Norris is a remarkably skillful and engaging poet, and we are fortunate now to have some of his best poems together in a single volume (675).
