This is the third full length collection by one of the best contemporary American poets. The first poems were written in Panama; most of the book is set in Maine on Peaks Island. People get to know each other on a small island. The poems are intimate and vivid, conveying between the lines a positive and healing acceptance of reality.
"Sans Fin" (without end, forever) is titled in honor of Alberto Giacometti and "Paris Sans Fin," lithographs of Paris scenes that Giacometti produced during 1957-62. The author says, "I work similarly, from the outside in, finding in the act of description, celebration and an opening without end."
