Denise Levertov, who chose these poems as part of the National Poetry
Series, describes Heather Allen's poetic style as one of "profound
intimacy," meaning that the poems have the ring of truth, that they
seem to come from lived experience. The poems make deep connections
between the natural world and "the landscape of the soul," as Allen
writes in the title piece. These are the kind of weighty poems that
will reward many readings.
